Herd: Heard, 2016-2017

Installation and video projection

The installation Herd: Heard takes the viewer on a meditative, near-mystical journey. The theme of The Art of Joy is here expressed as a personal quest, an affirmation of identity rooted in the past but pointing to the future.

The artist would like to thank Adam Green, Kyle Bennett and George Bennett.
