Here, an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures by Torkwase Dyson, continues the artist's explorations of environment, architecture, infrastructure and black space. To further explore these ideas the artist has centered the practice of mindful improvisation to build a distilled world of objects experimenting with simultaneity and augmentation. Dyson approached the new work as an assemblage in memory of black underwater towns. The artist considers being mindfully present while discursive as a productive condition from which to produce forms that speak to the beauty and hauntology of black abstraction in motion, or what the artist calls black compositional thought. Here (Bird and Lava) continues an ongoing series addressing the spatial strategies of Black and dispossessed peoples with geometries of contemplation and textures that the artist thinks of as thresholds. The installation as a whole invites the beauty of precarity and is attuned to the liminal space of ongoing emancipation.
