COSMIC JOURNEY OF THE STAR NOSED MOLE
Carroll Hall, event space, Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY - Completed 2019
I have never seen a Star Nosed Mole in real life. Thanks to the opportunity to work on art + installation project of Dameron Architecture for Carroll Hall , the mole and I went on a cosmic creative journey. I am fascinated by its sense of touch: it’s five times higher than humans! That was the idea behind these installations: maximize the feeling of touch through the ceramic materials.
Nunca en mi vida he visto un topo estrellado. Gracias a la oportunidad que tuve de trabajar en arte+instalaciones de Dameron Architecture para Caroll Hall en Brooklyn, NYC, el topo estrellado y yo nos fuimos en un viaje creativo. Lo que más me fascina de este animal es su habilidad del sentido del tacto ¡Los topos estrellados sienten cinco veces más que los humanos! La idea de estas instalaciones era maximizar los sentidos a través de los materiales cerámicos.
“A huge star nosed mole climbed up from the ground,
Her red nose got stuck in four walls.
(You can go inside her tentacles.)
Other moles followed, finding comfortable corners to sleep.
Their dream worlds exploded from their unconscious minds,
Becoming the planet of the moles and their insect friends.”
