Recapitulation is an installation demonstrating the parallels between slavery and the contemporary prison industrial complex through animation, digital stills, sculpture, original music compositions, interactive sound and video.

Receiving this grant, he joins the company of Seattle artists including Byron Au Young, SuttonBeresCuller, Lead Pencil Studio, Trimpin, James Coupe, and of grantees this year including Janine Antoni, Theaster Gates, and Jesse Sugarmann.
Congratulations, Paul!
