I have been searching for Black space to represent the African diaspora’s impact on the world. I want to investigate not only historical records and built space but also oral history, fantasy, literature, music, forms of powerful joy, and claiming of space. I draw them digitally, print them as three-dimensional models, and incorporate them into new spaces/sculptures. There is a rich history of Black artists finding their space/fugitivity in Rome: Edmonia Lewis, Robert Duncanson, Richard Hunt, Barbara Chase-Riboud, and many more. I want to find space in Rome for myself but also aggregate/research spaces found by Black folks before me. I would “quote” these spaces and find how relationships between them support each other or how they live alone. I want to iterate and fragment, abstracting space enough to talk about its “aura,” but not so much that it loses meaning. I am captivated by the lacunae created by a collection of these spaces/eventual sculptures—a liminal space is a prompt for a shift of power.
