Newark / Isolation Refreshed 1967/2006 is a neo - meditation on emotions, post industrial, post- riot, post American Dream spaces. The woman in these photographs is my character Mala (Spanish translation bad or rotten) named that because she defies the notions of  how her most intimate and larger community feels that she should be as Black, woman, poor.  In this  Mala awakens to see that all that she has known is abandoned, left, gone to ruin, the environment is indeed, mala. A former activist in 1960s Newark she has fallen asleep after the 1967 Newark Rebellion and is now awake today - wondering, what happened?
