Spring, Summer: Work in Progress:Border Wall

Part one:

As you approach a large canvass, your motion generates a projection of the US/Mexico Border Wall,

But as you walk alongside the canvass, the Wall will disintegrate.

If you sweep your arm, the wall will come back or disappear

Part two:

Interactive/ motion activated projection, poems, and seven paintings (10×12 or 9×12, oil on wood panels) of the US/Mexico border wall. From Dec 2018 until September 2019, seven children died after being separated from their parents and taken into US immigration custody. Movement in front of the oil paintings will generate a video projection of a poem, one line over each painting

Here is one of the poems I wrote that will be projected:

1.shadows in a dust storm 2 .calling each other’s names 3.I no longer feel the world 4.my hands have gone with you 5. Your father and I move room to room 6.the sounds outside come in as flames 7.god of my heart, sleep while I hold you
