From 2014-2016 I will be working with Malu Fatorelli of Rio de Janeiro on installations in both Rio and Raleigh. Images in this gallery show the Rio installation and details of the various components. We created a graphite Timeline that encompassed two galleries, a "Memory Box" that contained a timeline of our artistic conversation and individual art practices, videos, and individual site-specific pieces. The exhibition took place at CENTRO MUNICIPAL DE ARETE HELIO OITICICA, 5 December 2015 to 27 February 2016. Curator: Gloria Ferreira


The first iteration of my collaboration with Malu Fatorelli was "RALEIGH/RIO, An Artistic Conversation" which was shown at ARTSPACE, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Curator: Shana Dumont Garr.
