The Red Earth Project (2019-)
8. Deference
This piece takes the geological forms from textual translations further, creating totems of words reflecting on how language was so often manifested in material objects through ritual, reflection and gestural demonstration. Three pieces of text from Red Earth make up the elements of this totem in dialogue here through gesture with entities that exist between worlds, between different ideas of personhood, and in a timeless virtual nonspace in between geographical coordinates.
