And our final artist for this weekend is Anastasia Corrine @voidth0t an interdisciplinary artist based in New York. Corrine is influenced by the roots of the African Diaspora and its dislocation. Their research based practice is informed by Black Radical Tradition, nature, and movement. Using ceramics, electronic media, performance, and writing, Corrine is developing methods for digging a hole to the other side. Like a root and its reflex, they are seeking and dirt loving.

“Return to Earth” is a political act rooted in resilience and care. It is a return to each other, tending the fertile soil of connection, making space for gratitude, and embracing art as a living exchange that restores our sense of shared humanity. Together, these artists invite us to reflect on our relationships with the Earth, our histories, and the traces we leave behind.

Getting ready for tomorrow’s show!
Install days are one of my favorite parts of the process. Watching the spaces of my house transform and co-curating with the artists on how it should all look and feel.
Couldn’t be more excited for tomorrow night. Beautiful art, live music, live painting, snacks and surprises.
