Weep Holes<\/em> addresses ideas of stewardship, beauty and threat, collective action, and building and dismantling. Playing with scale, the works on view range from tiny to outsized\u2013including a 16-foot-tall Shaker broom, made of recycled material and made in residence at MASS MoCA. These works invite the viewer to consider their physical presence and place in the world vis-a-vie the sculptures on view.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Weep Holes<\/em> is made in collaboration with Sharad Kant Patel, Michael Jevon Demps, Billy Dufala, Osman Khan, Joy McMillian, Christina Sadovnikov, Library of Radical Returns, and an ever-expanding network of fires; with trust, expertise, and labor of everyone at MASS MoCA, and support from CultureWorks Richmond, Nomaco, RAIR Philly, Truetimber Arborists, VCUarts, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.<\/p>\r\n
