Precisely made, pared-down, and minimal presentation, my research based artwork explore different theories, techniques, and ideas that are organized in collections. My recent work titled An Infrastructure of Silence, is a collection of works that confronts institutional racism in U.S. America and the interconnections of slavery, race, poverty, wealth, and segregation in the United States. As a citizen of this democracy and an artist with shameful ancestral roots in the institutions of slavery, I have a shared responsibility to help confront the divisive and persistent effects of institutionalized racism on all Americans.
