Two pieces of my work were exhibited as part of the SUNY New Paltz Art Faculty show Collective Consciousness, February 6-April 11, 2021.
In What are my rights? [2019], the augmented hoodie above, a functional needlepoint QR code links to the site articulating reforms to data protection rules for citizens of the EU.
In Not everything that is faced can be changed, but… [2020], the hand-knit piece below, the typeface–adapted here–was originally commissioned from the Los Angeles-based type foundry MCKL by Titus Kaphar and Reginald Dwayne Betts for their 2019 MoMA PS1 exhibition The Redaction: A Project by Titus Kaphar and Reginald Dwayne Betts.
Kaphar (a visual artist and filmmaker) and Betts (a memoirist, poet and attorney) utilized the bespoke font across a variety of media to amplify source material drawn from lawsuits filed by the Civil Rights Corps (CRC), as the organization represented individuals who were incarcerated because they were not able to pay legal fees. Influenced by typefaces used in legal documents, and designed in seven iterations of successive degradation, Redaction deteriorates as it would through photocopying and faxing. The Redaction problematizes the history of the US criminal justice system, represents narratives of mass incarceration, and calls for criminal justice reform.
