Learning from Indigenous Knowledge

Im still going through boxes unpacking and looking for my weaving tools. In the meantime, I’ve been foraging grasses and yucca leaves around Little Fountain, St. Croix USVI to make a woven grass skirt like these in this video as a sculptural form.

There is much to learn from indigenous cultures from around the globe…

It is more than a Shopping Cart…

The shopping cart is the ultimate symbol of American consumer culture. 

By combining this symbol with found materials that emote blight and decay, I am expressing my disillusionment with the idealized “American Dream” concept in which equality of opportunity is available to any and all Americans.
