Carrying Breath Between Ancestors layers the Pine Barrens wetlands’ textures, decay, accumulations, and field recordings with a ceremonial hand dance in the sky to create ancestor time and tactile invitations. The word Papashèi, a Lenape word meaning the way breathing moves the body while sleeping/dreaming opens the video. The work speaks to moira’s tactile memory, ancestral land and legacies of familial refuge and disabilities connected to the wetlands. The installation version includes a touchscreen and VibraTech that vibrates with the field recordings.
