BACK
I am a photo-basted artist working with industrial and political topics. My photographic work contains my body performing in sites of high-tension. Sometimes you can see me. Sometimes you can’t. Since 2020 I have been focusing on the oil excavation in the Permian Basin of Texas. With an anthropological eye, my project brings into focus the rise of American nationalism, the colonial history of oil extraction, deal-makings, labor relations, and post-colonial ripples.
Thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Frederick Douglass, Rosalind Krauss, and Martha Rosler
influence my practice; Photographs are image objects that circulate; that speak; that we collect. This is the reason that works in Wolfcamp Catalogue are small, hand-held, and structured like a language. I treat photographs as fictive rather than objective documents. For this reason, I have deployed playwriting, beading and embroidery in my work.
I am there to reshape this unflinching universe, conspicuously imperial as it is vulnerably human.
