Precious Okoyomon creates large-scale sculptural environments that confront the ways racial histories are inscribed in the natural world. Working with organic materials, their practice foregrounds cycles of rot, decay, and rebirth as both subject and process, challenging cultural denials of decomposition while emphasizing nature’s resilience in the face of human-made crises. The installations serve as a reminder of violence and a celebration of survival, urging audiences to recognize the stakes of neglecting ecological and social entanglements.
Born in London in 1993 and based in Brooklyn, Okoyomon approaches their work as an ongoing experiment in ‘unthinking’ invisibility, using living matter to generate forms that adapt and resist permanence. Through this perspective, their practice asks viewers to listen closely to the natural world while considering the consequences of failing to act.
