TORKWASE DYSON

Torkwase Dyson works with painting, drawing, sculpture and sound to explore the relationships between ecology, infrastructure, and architecture. His geometric abstractions arise from a reflection on the perception of space, particularly in relation to the experience of Black bodies. Central to his research is what he calls Black Compositional Thought: a visual and political theory that interprets routes, waterways, passages and enclosures as forms of constraint but also as possibilities for liberation.
