Headlands Center for the Arts

Artist Statement

My interdisciplinary art practice spans object and exhibition-making, archives, workshops, and participatory actions. My projects are often long-term, unfolding through sustained collaborations that guide both their process and form. I approach artmaking as a way for political futures to be imagined and enacted—not only representationally and discursively, but also tangibly by producing projects with infrastructural logics that reorient and reinhabit the systems that shape collective life.

While At Headlands

As a socially-engaged artist, my practice often unfolds in public. Headlands offers a rare pause within that forward-facing work. I plan to begin working on a book project around Public Address, my ongoing public artwork unfolding across New York City, which is commissioned by Storefront for Art and Architecture. Developed over my four years as the Public Artist in Residence with the NYC Department of Homeless Services, the project has generated a vast archive. Headlands will give me the space to reflect, synthesize, edit, and write. I will also begin research for a forthcoming project on arboreal systems, grounding that inquiry in slow observation, drawing, hiking, and somatic study.
