Using mixed reality as a framework, Fraught Imaginaries (2022—present) is an ongoing multi-disciplinary body of work centering on liberatory practices of play, which seek to disarm the architectures and systems of control within the prison industrial complex. This world-building project takes shape through my first hand investigation of the prison industrial supply chain and through personal relationships I have built with incarcerated individuals inside New York State Juvenile facilities—namely the Columbia and Brookwood Secure centers—and with adults at the Shawangunk Correctional Facility.
