Dyson deconstructs, distills and interrogates the built environment, exploring how individuals, particularly Black and brown people, negotiate, negate and transform systems and spatial order. She confronts issues of environmental liberation and envisions a path toward a more equitable future. \u003ci\u003eOf Line and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e draws from years of Dyson's own research and spatial memory of navigating the waterways and urban architecture of Chicago. Using the South Shore Cultural Center, a lakeshore landmark with rich historical and architectural significance, as a point of departure, Dyson extracts, reduces and refines architectural and visual cues into geometric shapes and painterly abstractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Torkwase Dyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798985761399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Torkwase Dyson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997623628031,"sku":"9798985761399","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/torkwase-dyson-torkwase-dyson-9798985761399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
