On Impact: Red, White, and Blue is a curated collection of works that follows the Flint Water Crisis before and after the national media attention. 

Flint Town Blues, 2015, pastel on paper

Flint Town Blues was previously shown downtown in Flint as part of the storefront installation of A Body of Water. In 2015, my piece, A Body of Water (not shown) was the first community arts project to address the Flint Water Crisis. Flint Town Blues was a personal response to the lack of municipal response to residents’concerns about the water. 

The Heartbreak Hutch, 2018, found object, suits

The Heartbreak Hutch is a tribute to the protest performance, America’s Heartbreakers that was performed in 2016 at the Flint Water Treatment Plant. 

In May, 2016, ten women staged a die-in, lying on the steps at the Flint Water Treatment Plant for 20 minutes (representing 10 minutes for each year of being without clean water).  

Residue Series, 2017, Flint Water on paper

The Residue series was an experiment in pulling the elusiveness of trauma from The Flint Water Crisis into a material form. The paper was soaked for days and then scrubbed to reveal the pigmented paper.
