Magical Pew Supreme
This site specific installation stages a confessional set up inviting the visitor to genuflect, reflect and if appropriate, repent. The installation translates the feeling of disconnection between the “natural” world and our over-commercialized Western world. Inspired by my Catholic upbringing and by K. Malevitch’s Suprematism, among various sources, the form and aesthetic grew out of the constraints of the room. I built “towers-totems” out of trash picked up on the island as well as my own. I covered them up with plaster clothes, like you would a broken leg, to repair their status and hide their true nature as trash by recycling them as art. Building up from floor to ceiling, the fragile constructions become totemic constructs partially covered by flower petals also collected on the island.

“I am so thrilled to share this event with the 7 amazing artists who have been an inspiration and a motivation. We took over the house and split it into 8 separate, yet interconnected, universes. Thank you 4Heads!”
