THE PILGRIMAGE RIBBON

This installation explores journeys and the loss of Native American Culture. 

Accordion books reference Codex Boturini, which told the story of the Aztec’s journey to find a home. These two codices (each eleven feet long) represent my own journey during an eleven year period, and the journey we all have in common, as we make our way through life, its foibles, our foibles - vulnerability expressed by the negative space in which the figures and shapes exist.

Our paths dip and wind through encounters, exploration, danger, disappointment; eventually straying into uncharted areas of ourselves.
