My medium is the civic life people build together: places, rituals, exchanges, objects, and institutions that make belonging and power visible.

How We Hold: A Civic Ledger
A new modular social sculpture that becomes threshold, communal table, and ledger wall. The work translates acts of care, obligation, memory, and shared risk into powder-coated steel, reclaimed hardwood, light, poetry, and hundreds of hand-marked plates.
2021–present · Lake Como, Fort Worth
A permanent gateway for Fort Worth’s historic Black Lake Como neighborhood, developed through a five-year process. Community dinners, small-business visits, youth mentorship, public review, and neighborhood memory become monumental civic form.
2021–22 · YBCA + Dreamseeds
Visitors checked out living plants, learned care rituals, documented their relationships, and returned plants with stories for the next caretaker. Co-created with Nikiko Masumoto, the work asks how trust can be designed into a public artwork.
2012–present · South Dallas
Co-founded with Fred Villanueva in a former metal scrapyard and auto-salvage property, Ash is a 20,000-square-foot, bilingual, artist-led social sculpture. Studios, exhibitions, performances, murals, organizing, and informal exchange make the site itself a durational work.
