Cahuilla Installation: NETAXMUQA

Site Specific Installation

Previous | Portfolio | Next



NETAXMUQA means "I am singing" in the Cahuilla language.

 

I have to admit that I was pretty intimidated about putting these signs out like this. As stated in my video statement, I am pretty introverted person. Sounds strange to say, but these works meant more to me than if they had been exhibited at the Whitney or something.

 

I wanted to make something specifically for my tribe and their response was amazingly positive. That said, after being up for over a year they were finally vandalized and destroyed.

 

More signs are in the works!!!!!!
