RICHMOND FORAGING MAP, 2020-ONGOING
This project started after taking walks during the first summer of Covid and realizing there were many edible plants in the city. Many of the plants catalogued are fruit trees from old plantation properties. It was made so anyone can access it, add to it, or edit it. This project explores how people can decolonize space through foraging and sharing resources.

MOLDING AN INNER LANDSCAPE, 2023
Molding an Inner Landscape was a three hour workshop for the exhibition Feralpy held through Flux Factory at Governors Island in New York City. Participants were led through a guided meditation where they developed their own peaceful inner landscapes, drew them out on paper, pulverized them, and formed them into stones - mimicking the process of the rock cycle. The rocks were shown as part of the exhibition. At the end, partipants got to take home their stones to serve as trail markers to return to their inner landscapes once again.

FOOT FAULT, 2022
CO-ORGANIZED WITH NADS NEMANN
Foot Fault was a one-day exhibition in August held at an abandoned tennis court. We featured over 20 artists locally and nationwide to exhibit work. The title of the show came whe we visited this site; a neglected tennis court with trees growing through cracks and kudzu consuming the court. The name for the show, “foot fault”, is a tennis term used when the server steps out of bounds when making the first move. This suited what we wanted for the exhibition; a space for friends to show work that didn’t necessarily fit in a white-walled institutional setting. Many of these works came from bedrooms, were works in progress or made specifically for the site.
