Victory Means So Much

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.
