Abstract: My work is based in my desire to embody a critical relationship with whiteness as I create work that reflects my political and relational values. As a white prison abolitionist, I look to the work of anti-slavery abolitionists, contemporary artists and abolitionists, family members and members of my various communities in order to discover and better understand my role as an artist and activist. Process-based relational work is vital in the deeply interconnected realms of my art practice and my community-based activist work. I am interested in the capacity of art to create non-linear sites of meaning-making that can challenge and support a complexity of vision and perception. I believe that this capacity can support deeper complexity and nuance within contemporary movements toward abolition.
