Summary
Kim Dacres, a first-generation American of Jamaican descent based in Harlem, creates figurative sculptures from discarded tires and bicycle parts collected from New York City streets. Her latest exhibition "Lost on a Two Way Street" at Charles Moffett Gallery showcases her signature technique of transforming tire treads into forms that evoke hairstyles like buns, rows, and locs, crowned with gear-like metal embellishments. The work captures a sense of maximum movement frozen in time.
