Career

Drawing on his background and upbringing, Harvey often uses detritus from his Massachusetts town of Fall River for artworks. For instance, in his 2023 exhibition Sick Metal he used wood from fallen trees to create frames for his drawings. Harvey's art is in the permanent collection of Kadist.
Harvey was included in the 2021 edition of the New Museum Triennial, Soft Water Hard Stone. Writing for the New York Times, critic Holland Cotter described Harvey as "maker of quasi-mystical assemblages" and "one of this Triennial’s finds."
In 2025, he began to be represented by PPOW Gallery in New York City.
