Sculpture. (2019)

Created for Unpolished Legacies,
curated by Becci Davis and Holly Ewald

others in losing, responds to RISD Museum’s Gorham Silver: Designing Brilliance, 1850-1970 exhibition by thinking about how the Gorham Manufacturing Company and museums participate in theft and extraction towards the creation of wealth and self enrichment, continuations of colonial practices that Eduardo Galeano refers to as “a 500 year pillage of a continent” — referencing occupied indigenous lands now commonly called Latin America.

By rendering the opening line of Open Veins of Latin America in a materiality that is at once ornate, plastic, and gilded others in losing criticizes the display and valorization of work based solely on considerations of crafted beauty, and the removal of the many rich histories and geographies that silver touches but does not enrich from exhibitions like Gorham Silver: Designing Brilliance, 1850-1970.
