The next life of property:
Grandma never believed in hell
2019 UT Austin graduation thesis. The installation includes a wooden platform with a circular soil marking, a metal bucket, and woven basket tools. Rows of soil and bare floor are patterned with large swept circles, and a green chalkboard displays a simple chalk outline of a chair. On another wall, an upturned wooden chair with broom heads, plaster-mold legs, and poles is mounted over a chalk-drawn U.S. Flag. 

During performances, collaborators Aryel “Ariel” René Jackson and Michael J. Love sweep soil into circles, tap dance on the surface, and move earth from the bucket, creating visual patterns and rhythmic sounds. The work combines sculpture, soil drawings, and live action, blending references to classrooms, yards, and ceremonial spaces.
