Get on Board (2019), experiments with found material to create mechanisms that acts as a stand in for physical body. A somatic experience where the conjuring of assistive devices and wearables cater to the need of the contemporary Black, the urban soldier. The work exists in the nonsensical. The hilarity, and obscure functionality, an homage to the ways joy is conjured through resiliency, and resourcefulness. Get on Board is a reconstruction of the past to restructure a speculative future. My apparatuses are conceived through an investigation of how to simultaneously survive the past/present/future.
