From the Negatives Preserved installation
From the installation Negatives Preserved, the show’s central statue, White Flight, employs alginate cast in envelopes, to engage the intimate violence of white silence and the things that remain unspoken about. The castings, though seemingly contained, thrust out like shards to show the violence that came with white communities. Considered an unearthing, White Flight speaks to the stories that weren’t told across generations, the histories of entire populations, unrecognized.
