Power and its political, social and architectural structures
was born in New York and has lived in Harare and Johannesburg since the early 1990s. She is a painter, video artist and filmmaker who divides her time between studio work and navigating the field of art as social practice. Her work investigates power and its political, social and architectural structures. Implicit in her examination of these structures is an interrogation of the invisible forces that create them, and an imagining of alternatives.
