I’ve been sharing and playing around with the idea of a breeze block structure here for a while now. And after sitting with it for a while, I’d like to share this tapestry, “we came together to watch the breeze”. I recently took this tapestry with me on a trip to St.Kitts, my father’s home, for a type of homecoming. While there I began to understand it with another type of breeze, not accessible to me here in Brooklyn, that allowed for a transformation of myself and the work.
I have to give a special thanks to my little sister and my friends (@daniellemarizberger@melaniewuu@riverwildmen ) I wouldn’t have been able to make this piece without you all!

Fabric
-a rigid structure that allows for the passage of something as fluid and changing as the breeze while still resisting it
-soft yet heavy, honestly a lot heavier than I thought
-how to move like the breeze?
-going for more wind and heat, definitely heat
-block after block there are blocks after blocks in Brooklyn
-some ways to collect images for the breeze:

We are pleased to announce that Empire Is Not Forever, a group exhibition curated by Alyssa Alexander and Cyle Warner will open on Saturday, May 9 at Ivy’s Projects.
The exhibition gathers works engaged with the slow unraveling and persistence of empire.
Through painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and textile-based practices, the exhibition considers how the legacies of colonial structures in the Caribbean and its diaspora, deteriorate unevenly, leaving behind residues in land, language, and the body. Resistant to negotiating these truths by way of solely narrative strategies, artists here look to various modes of storytelling. The difference, as Byung-Chul Han suggests in The Crisis of Narration, is that narration serves as an enclosure rather than an invitation to explore. In an age of relentless access to information, narration upholds familiar knowledge and notions, and provides a neatly packaged identity. Storytelling, on the other hand, initiates possibilities of realms unknown. Though varied in their approaches, the artists within Empire is not forever withhold as much as they share, leaving room for generative speculation on how to leverage what has been left behind toward a useful futurity. The exhibition will be on view until Saturday, June 27.
Included artists:
Jill Cohen-Nuñez
Renluka Maharaj
Pedro Troncoso
Cyle Warner
Kemar Keanu Wynter

One of my favorite works to date, “Shatter Me Upon the Waterfall’s Edge,” is currently displayed @bronxmuseum as part of the 7th Aim Biennale: Forms of Connection. This wonderful exhibition promises to be a treat, so please take the time to visit and support the artists who were part of the 2024 and 2025 Bronx AIM Fellowship.
