Current projects include Stop Telling Women to Smile: Oklahoma, a multimedia storytelling project examining how gender is experienced across the state; Always & Forever, a site-specific audio and multimedia installation in rural Oklahoma that explores memory and presence through sound; and Projection, a public art series I conceived and curate on the exterior of the Tulsa Artist Fellowship building.
Alongside these projects, I am continuing to develop Flight, an ongoing series of murals and public artworks inspired by the Black mythology of flight. New sites and installations are currently in development.
I divide my time between Oklahoma, Brooklyn, and Upstate New York. In New York, I am working on a major public art commission with NYC Percent for Art and Grimshaw Architects for Horizon Juvenile Center in the Bronx.
In Upstate New York, I am building Lynn & Lorraine, an artist residency and retreat space dedicated to creativity, rest, and community. The project expands my practice beyond art production and into creating physical spaces that support artists, cultural workers, and meaningful exchange.
In the studio, I am exploring my Iranian identity, Black southern ephemera, self-portraiture, and more through oil paintings, drawings, and new matierials.
I am always interested in thoughtful collaborations, public art opportunities, exhibitions, institutional partnerships, and conversations about new projects. If you'd like to work together or support my practice, I'd love to hear from you: tlynnfaz@gmail.com
