This sculpture draws on anti-colonial, anti-capitalist feminist considerations of Erasure: the act of causing a feeling, memory, or a period of time to be completely forgotten. I use abstraction to touch on what is left off the page of the imperial archival record: historical and current omission, eradication, deletion, devaluation, obliteration; as well as the collective responsibility to remember, to learn, to assert.
