Public activations are an extension of my art practice. Taking place in many forms, all activations are in conversation with themes present in the work.

Kennedy Center Lawn Meditation and Open Studio



In July of 2022 I had the honor of being selected for the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts’ Office Hours Residency. I was given the space for a week to create work and engage in conversation with other artists. Part of the activation was a meditation and an open studio dialogue in my temporary studio space in the REACH building located on the property.




A thousand thank yous to the staff at the Kennedy Center they really took care of me. Thank you to Marc Bamuthi Joseph for inviting me and sitting with me and to Rachael Ward for being such an incredible host. You’re amazing Rachael!

On The Line Interactive Installation



On the line is an interactive sculptural work comprised of a table and 4 rotary telephones. The phones ring independently and playback facts about Mental Health in the US, poems or short stories of individuals who have personally be impacted by a mental illness and definitions of various types of mental illnesses delivered by a mental health expert or counselor.

The environment of the activation is designed to be a safe space for discussion around mental health awarness. Audience members spoke among themselves and shared their stories about their own challenges with mental health among other things like coping with loosing a loved one to suicide. The physical take away was a list of resources for more information on mental health awareness.
