Visions/Visiones, Museo Convento de Santo Domingo, Qorikancha, Cuzco, Peru, 2011.
Nora Valdez invited and supported a cohort of fellow Boston Sculptors Gallery members to participate in a residency and exhibition, Visions/Visiones. The exhibition took place in the Spanish church and convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the ruins of the ancient Inca temple in the heart of Cuzco, Peru.
Using light, portable materials I brought with me, I wove Rio, a “river” of black and white paper and foil that refers to the ritual stoles worn by Catholic priests and the weaving of the two cultures, night and day, and upper and lower worlds.
