Ekvnlecv (Under the Earth's Surface)

Drawing inspiration from the La Brea Tar Pits, Ekvnlecv (Under the Earth's Surface) explores portals and passages between realms and the underworld. The permeable space draws us to ancestors and the texture of the tar denotes ink for tattoos. Marks and punctures center the video in body and place as it navigates caretaking, excavation, and the ethics of uncovering.

Installed in the group exhibition We Carry the Land at Craft Contemporary, Los Angeles
