After Grace IV

After Grace IV (2025)

As the artist disappears and reappears through a retrospective installation of their work, After Grace IV is a visual relic of Dez’Mon’s first foray into performance art. In an attempt to hold space for opposing principles while escalating towards a common vision, the After Grace series has become an ongoing project where filmmakers create pieces based on the same poem—a poem that convinced a painter to strongly consider writing, then writing strongly advocated for performance, then performance insisted upon installation. After Grace, as a whole, is meant to remind the artist of origins, being green, the earnestness and eagerness of unrefined creativity holding the many hands of collaboration and possibility, being led in many directions in the hopes of returning as something familiar, however renewed.
