Victory Means So Much. 21st International Art Biennial of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Mixed Media Sculpture and Sound Installation. 2019–2020.
Victory Means So Much provides a therapeutic light and sound environment for 32 regional fruit trees over the course of the biennale exhibition. The sound composition was made in a small agricultural town in the western United States and incorporates both original sound recording and a muzak dub of Stanley Turrentine’s “There’s Always Something There To Remind Me.” Victory Means So Much is a reflection on the complexity of the global rural environment and as a work asks us to contemplate the spatial and existential realities of domesticated soil agriculture and forestry.
