2026 Solo Exhibition

Message for the Atlantic is a study in speculation, in grieving what is lost and unrecoverable, and reconciling with a lack of beginning. Through objects, video, sound, and ritual, this exhibition pieces together the void of Black origin and traverses Black becoming and evolution, utilizing personal archives and known history to construct a past, a present, and a future. This is a space to yearn for what was lost to the Atlantic, to grieve and eat and be together, to “tend to the Black dead and dying”–to be in the Wake.

2025 Group Show

skin between your teeth was an exploration into the relationship between the body and the spaces it occupies–we break open the body and turn it inside out, spilling it onto the gallery floor. Through this obliteration and reconstruction, we embraced the way horror and queerness have been intertwined throughout history and satirize it, play with it, and exaggerate it. We recreate and reimagine the typically serene area of the home–the dining room–and reframe elements of the home through a lens of the grotesque.
