Building Materials

My work considers "home” or “the home" as a metaphor for peace. The building elements of home elicit a physical and emotional recollection within the body of spaces remembered.

Who has the privilege of belonging? A place one can lock a door to secure their belongings. There is no door, no other side of threshold to secure what belongs, that is a tension I consider.

The works are a wish for stability, an acknowledgment of disruptive traumas and ritualize domestic refuge in all of its calming familiarity.

Collage is my charge, utilizing what one has to make what one needs, a spiritual practice of combining and divining improvised connections. It's a potion really.

Domestic space is a shared concern.

Statement by Devin N. Morris November, 2025

The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is pleased to announce TD Bank Curated Spotlight—a special section at NADA Miami 2025 curated by Kate Wong, curator, writer, and researcher based in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the 23rd edition of the fair, Curated Spotlight will feature five presentations from exhibiting galleries. Introduced at NADA Miami in 2021, the Curated Spotlight program invites galleries and artists to collaborate with a curator to showcase their presentations at the fair. Past curators include Jasmine Wahi, Ebony L. Haynes, Kendra Jayne Patrick, Joeonna Belloarado-Samuels, Simon Wu, and Jenée-Daria Strand.

“For this year’s Curated Spotlight, I am highlighting galleries taking nontraditional approaches to supporting artists. These commercial and non-profit spaces are expanding what it means to support artistic practice—expanding beyond exhibition-making and the placement of artworks to offer resources, programming, and community infrastructure,” said Kate Wong.

“Founded in 1947, the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (New York) is a cooperative non-profit participating in NADA to diversify its revenue model. ROMANCE (Pittsburgh) began as an apartment gallery and now occupies a former medical office, developing a program that weaves site, history, and artistic intervention. Spill 180 (New York) embeds political solidarity directly into its operations, making ethics a structural and not symbolic part of its activity. Southside Contemporary Art Gallery (Richmond, VA) started in response to community need, offering educational programs alongside exhibitions, and El Consulado (New York) is an artist-run collective that centers Venezuelan culture and community who are thinking creatively about how to resource their exhibitions, residencies, and public programs. These spaces serve as a reminder of the importance to rethink the logics of scale and to recognize that the most vital work is often rooted in the local.  A more ethical form of sustainability within the arts ecosystem emerges through small acts—networks of artists and communities forging new models through proximity, responsiveness, and shared purpose. The artists presented in this section echo this spirit of renewal, reminding us that there is indeed a new world struggling to be born. Their work affirms the role of art in allowing us to imagine otherwise, using the language of rupture—the uneven, the disjointed, and the fractured—to give form to the tension between what is dying and what is yet to come.”
