Abstract

My artistic practice has always drawn heavily from archival research and has used strategies of reproduction to underscore the archive as a living object. By disrupting the perceived fixity of the archive and recovering its heterogeneity my work reveals hierarchies of power that play out across class, gender, sexuality, caste, race, and geography.
