Far Away, Installation

2017/18 The Wild Project

When approached, a large projection of a volcano begins to disintegrate. Simultaneously, illustrations of the poem The Drowned Horse appear on the opposite side of the room. “Far Away, installation” demonstrates the US’s propensity towards disruption, represented by a volcano which is affected by our very presence. The volcano’s “lava” is the imagery of the poem spilling into the room. The poem “The Drowned Horse” by Pablo Antonio Cuadra warned of the US invasion of Nicaragua. The imagery is also in physical form (drawings on paper) on the third wall of the space.

“I’m not telling you what to do but you have to do it”

2015 Silent Barn, 5 month installation Braille lights are projected when you walk up the stairs. The staircase is lined with canvasses of sewed braille that say” I am not telling you what to do but you have to do” which is a line from a narration of a beggar. As you walk up the stairs, you activate the entire narrative, which discusses the role of American imperialism as creator of Central American poverty.
