My work engages the Black quotidian and its relationship to digital space. Intrigued by the various lenses in which Black daily life is warped, stretched, chopped, and screwed, I work across sculpture, new media, performance, and writing to mirror Black cultural malleability. I'm concerned with the extent of Black identity and how dominant modes of cultural exploitation decentralize and exploit it. In turn, I subvert and critique these exploitative systems to return Blackness from the margins of society. The Internet and my Afro-Caribbean identity are central to my practice: Black Twitter, WorldStarHiphop, WhatsApp, #BlackLivesMatter. These sites complicate my existence not only as Black-body-connected but as a maker concerned with the dangers of over-exposure. In my work, I invoke the problematics, power, and peril intrinsic to these spaces to render conceptually striking impressions and inversions of material that propose new possibilities for contemporary Black ontology.
