WELCOME

I am a conceptual artist whose practice moves across sculpture, sound, performance, film, and broadcast. Rather than treating medium as a fixed category, I work through a methodology I call artistic journalism—a research-driven approach that gathers, tests, and transmits knowledge through lived situations. My work emerges from field research: walking, listening, assembling, staging, and returning to sites where history, power, and everyday life intersect.

Rather than producing singular objects or images, my practice builds infrastructures for inquiry. These take the form of installations, screenings, performances, and public activations that function as living archives—spaces where knowledge is held collectively and activated over time. Ethics, collaboration, and civic responsibility are not themes added onto the work; they are part of its structure.

I am interested in how knowledge moves: how it is gathered, maintained, and carried forward beyond the artist. This has led me to work through long-term projects such as Calculating Banneker, Field Trips to Staged Productions, Adam Vocabulary Club, and Channel TR7—each functioning as a platform rather than a finished product. These works treat history not as subject matter, but as a site of ongoing inquiry, where African American intellectual lineage, Qur’anic grounding, and contemporary civic life remain in active dialogue.

Most artists are cited for how their work looks or feels. My work is organized around how it operates—ethically, socially, and structurally. It is designed to be durable rather than declarative: less concerned with producing images than with sustaining inquiry. Through collaboration, stewardship, and repetition, the work resists closure, inviting audiences to participate not as spectators, but as co-investigators within a shared public record.
