valid from until; untitled (exhibit A / and dust) are a site-specific installation at the Drawing Center, New York. The texts from my immigration document that describe this exhibition at the Drawing Center and the institution's history as evidence to my legibility in the United States, are physically drawn onto the very wall of the site. Through the act of transcribing slowly in a meditative process over the course of 7 days (one inspired by my late grandmother's buddhist practice), the texts lose their bureaucratic function as they are translated through my body onto the wall, off the paper.
