Paint Creek Center for the Arts, Rochester,
MI, 1995
This installation had a two-fold purpose: not only did I
want viewers to think about the local ecosystems they inhabit,
but I also wanted to give them the opportunity to participate
in a symbolic act of healing. Viewers were invited
to enter a steel corn crib in the eastern gallery space,
grind shelled corn into cornmeal, and then sprinkle it onto
the bones of a coyote which lay within a wooden conduit in
the western gallery space.
