Codex Root Kinetics is a book bound of a series of monotype prints and collaged original poetry to consider radical abstraction as it plays a role in a person’s a sense of world and identity. In these pages, landscape and body can be thought of as a complex and fluctuating relationship influenced by both an internal and external experience. With Root Kinetics, concepts of self, world, and others collide as varying forces of motion that questions an echo of diaspora upon a person’s home, mixed racial identity, and gender-nonconformity in abstract space.
