Collection: THE INCA TRAIL
The following works are personal reflections from my travels along the Inca trail. Three summers ago I traveled to Peru to gather research on Choquequiro, the framed “City of Gold.” I spent weeks climbing mountain treks on foot and by horse following in the foot steps of Hiram Bingham III, the man Indiana Jones was based on, to connect with this beautiful culture. Each work of art takes patterns, people, wildfire, and local flora to Peru, and sets them on textured metal pieces. The works are worn and though vibrant in color should appear washed like lingering memories on old Inca stone. The works bring Peru to the viewer as if you are walking among the ruins of the city. This is my love story to Peru, “Cusco te amo,” which is even one of the names of my pieces flirting with colonial patterns and wildflowers from my findings in the city of Cusco. Traces of these patterns can be found in “Colonialism, Viarcocha, and Pachamama” where hidden iconography of Inca traditions mix with the new world. Questions of who conquered who should resonate as you decipher the juxtapositions of Inca and Spanish history, “oh to be a fly on the wall?” The works of “Señorita, Las Llamitas, and Tejedora” display the beauty of dyes and the yards of Peru with the women who weave them into garments. “Los Toritos and Akon” reflect Incan spiritualism, the relationship between the mountains and the people. Lastly, “Gallo and Tippy” are my quite walks on the trek, those moments when it was only the birds and me.
‘I think it is important to have something to hold onto, to smile, to love in this time.
