“I’ve illuminated the blackness of my invisibility—and vice versa.”
—Ralph Ellison

For the duration of the fellowship I will research eighteenth century idea of dark stars and the rejection of black holes. With my findings, as well as diagrams, historical texts, and hypotheses, I will construct a physical composition of contemporary American social political realities. The work itself will be different types of constructed spaces in time-based media, total installations, and small sculptures. These spaces would be comprised solely of found objects using the ideas of failed science as the key metaphor for the purposeful erasure of specific histories. The research is part of a larger developing body of work, Invisible Men: Beyond the Veil. This works aim is to document the stories of the marginalized people that inhabited the Bronx since the later half of the twentieth century.
