Sourcing his materials from fast-fashion websites and online shopping hubs, the artist weaves the familiar cadences of searching, scrolling, purchasing, and receiving into his nimble artistic practice. Ojo works instinctively to refashion these items into poetic yet perverse arrangements that make visible the phenomenon of social aspiration, unveiling its double-edged nature as a facilitator of both belonging and instability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTexts in this volume, including a curator's note by Ebony L. Haynes and an essay by Serubiri Moses, explore Ojo's influences and examine the consumerism that is both called out by and a central component of the artist's creative practice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Cookeville, Tennessee, Kayode Ojo (b. 1990) received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, in 2012.
