The artwork … is … her response to the boat-like imagery of the building. She envisioned creating a series of grassy waves that the building “floats” upon.Visitors are able to walk through this rippling grassy landscape. This work typifies the artist’s interest in the ambiguity of form, creating a rippling wave that is equally reminiscent of a drifting sand dune.

the patina of your childhood
Port-au-Prince, 2015
It’s rust you need to remember: the smell
of summer rain on the sidewalk
and the patina on wrought-iron railings on your front porch
with rust patches on them, and the smellof fresh mowed grass and gasoline and sweat
of your childhood …Que Sera Sera, A. Van Jordan

A place to stand and unfurl all that we see
Through both this developmental and this structural model, psychoanalysis enacts an unprecedented science of mediation: a study of how language and norms inform desires; how desires can only make themselves legible in the distortions of parapraxes, dreams, fumbles, and symptoms; how the self is not self-evident but rather a product of social relations. With its conviction that psychic experience is socially produced, psychoanalytic theory can help explore the ways that circulation impresses upon the psyche: an overemphasis on instantaneous fluid exchange, an overabundance of images, an overweighting of presence, and overvaluing of identity can all preclude or fore-close the functioning of the symbolic. Representation slackens, and an unintegrable real impends. Immersion in the imaginary initiates all kinds of psychic dischord, from fantasies of self-possession and delusions of wholeness, to refusals of the other and proliferating dualities, to paranoiac gusts and polarized fluctuation. Each of these disorders vividly characterizes contemporary media culture and contemporary algorithmic logic.
