The Plinth Project (2021) is an initiative I started to foster discussion around public art commissions in Richmond, Virginia, and America as a whole. At the time, racist monuments had finally begun to be taken down across the country in response to the Black Lives Matters protests. At my hometown of Richmond, Virginia (the historic ‘Capital of the Confederacy’ during the Civil War), this was also the case. In response I began an instagram account that would gather examples of public art for followers to learn about different types of public artworks and discuss them on a public platform.

Currently I am working on a value survey that will hopefully give some insight as to what sort of public art Richmond would like to see.
