Abstract
At night I keep igniting dreams, to clean every memory with sacred smoke.”
Natalia Lafourcade, from the song “Hasta la Raíz”
Everywhen is an installation that explores dreams through family bond. Combining analogue and digital modes of making –– ink drawings, digitized hi8 tapes, risograph animation, printmaking, projection mapping, video and sound, this multimedia project considers circular time and familial memory. The installation conjures the interior worlds of grief and gratitude, immersing the viewer in a porous space where the dream slips between night and day.
Artist Statement
The dreams my family traded to give life to my own, drives my art practice. I define these familial bonds through a history of moments intersecting legacy, grief, and gratitude. Forging a space to house these emotions, this path to healing is shaped with the sacred objects left behind – heirlooms, pictures, video, etc. – to which I respond. Through my interdisciplinary art practice, I draw closer to my own understanding surrounding these precious fragments of time.
