INSTALLATIONS - MIGRATION 2019. Wood. Metal. 18”x 24”x 10/14' - description
The installation “Migration” expresses the home uprooted, precarious and on the move. The tall wooden houses’ dimensions recall the shape of animals, stilt-legged, both vulnerable and proud. Where are they from, where are they going, is their exodus performed willingly or forcibly? They ask us to consider who we are when we are not our processions or identified by place. The piece hints at our growing displacement. It serves as a harbinger of climate change and increasing inequity while simultaneously suggesting our resilience, community and sense of discovery.
