During the Fall of 2015, myself along with 48 classmates, had the chance to participate in the Venice Biennale during our semester abroad in Rome. The theme of the 2015 Biennale was All the World's Future, with our assigned prompt being the fate of children born to incarcerated mothers. Armed with only gauze fabric, thread, chicken wire, and our hopeful outlook, we set out to create an exhibit that focused on the child, whom we believe should be the focus of the future. The exhibit created consisted of 5 sets of figures, set up in a die like formation. The center most figure was a pregnant woman with her arms in handcuffs. Then it moved to the bottom right corner, which depicted the woman just after birth with the child swaddled directly to her chest. The figure just north of her held a child slightly older, swaddled away from the mother's chest. The figure at the left northern point now holds onto the child's hand as it attempts to make its first steps. The final figure stands a few feet away from the child as it sits and plays with toys. Within each of these figures, sits a light. As the eye moves through the figures, the light moves slowly from mother and child to just the child. Each figure is contained within a column beneath a light fixture, each fixture enveloped in gauze shaped into strips to imitate jail cell bars. The space surrounding the main sculptures allowed for viewers to intermingle with the work, and was filled with balloons that represented toys, information about incarcerated mothers, and a video display that played images of some incarcerated mothers playing with gauze like fabric taken by two students whom were allowed to visit. I was a part of the sculpture team, and was in charge of plastering the final layers of gauze onto the sculptures during installation.
