Free Your Mind
Free Your Mind is a collection of personal narratives. You are invited to share an personal experience with implicit bias to release this story from your personal narrative.
Later, I will weave your stories into the installation as a computer generated voice recording. Motion sensors will trigger recordings when visitors interact with the installation.
Public Voice Award
My work Boa Quill was shortlisted as a finalist for the Public Voice Award. The winning piece will be purchased by the Biggs Museum of American Art and become a part of its permanent collection.
Voting will be open through April 29. The winner will be announced on April 30, 2022.
