Broom Grid
2018
An installation incorporating chalkboard paint, chalk, video projection, MDF board, a binder (Gac 400), and locally sourced topsoil. Featuring a gridded surface for chalk markings that can be made and erased, overlaid with projected video imagery, the work combines tactile and digital elements to invite interaction and repeated engagement, with the grid functioning as both a literal and symbolic framework.  

In 2018, it was presented in “A Recounting: Data, Disinformation & Black Experience” at Guerrero Gallery in San Francisco, curated by Elisa Durette, which examined how informatino–both factual and distorted–has been used to shape narratives about Black life in the United States, drawing on sources from W.E.B. Du Bois’s sociological charts to contested studies such as the Moynihan Report and “The Bell Curve” to explore the influence of data, statistics, and everyday knowledge on public perception, historical record, and lived experience.
