without you, there is no me (2026). The Delaware Contemporary.
“without you there is no me” is an assemblage sculpture and installation that takes on the presence of an altar and portal. It features found objects, items from my home, harvested organic material from inherited land (Lacy Oasis), family heirlooms, seed beads, naturally dyed and printed fabric, an animal skull, and a crochet textile that reimagines mycelium.
The gathered pieces are representative of mediums within my practice and speak to the contraction and expansion of family legacy through spiritual, biological, and material inheritance. it is a site where fortifying the foundation for my lineage to prosper occurs alongside consistent introspection, artmaking as ritual, and synthesizing familial roots into my unique footprint.
