...to take root among the stars

← Back to Artworks

2016

"...to take root among the stars" is an adjustable paper mural in progress that chronicles evidence of the preoccupation of space travel and mysticism in the black imagination from the 1940s until the present. The mural engages mixed-media on and in paper, vintage magazine articles, quotes, passages from books, and other printed matter that address or allude to what has come to be described as Afrofuturist or Afrosurrealist.

Installed in the Public Space One gallery in Sept. 2016
