After over a decade of teaching in New York City schools, local Harlem-based artist Kim Dacres decided to dedicate herself fulltime to her work. She makes sculptures using tires and found rubber in New York City streets and repair shops. A new solo show, Measure Me in Rotations, is her first in New York in over 4 years. Dacres joins to tell us more about her story and the show, which features ten new works. Measure Me in Rotations is on view at Charles Moffett through June 24.
