From Shadow to Shaman is centered on hundreds of low-fired clay hammers and is accompanied by a single-channel video and an instruction guide that encourages the vis- itor to enact a sequence of physical and vocal actions meant to provide a cathartic release. These autonomous actions are wake-up calls for reinventing mundane objects into tools to express our lives in the moment. A sequence of vocal cries and shouts epitomizes the art- ist’s belief in the ability of one’s voice to bring forth something from deep within one’s body.
Supported by Lauren Bogen and Richard Nijkerk.
