Kentucky Rooted

The work will be partially embedded into the earth, evoking the form and feeling of a cave—both as a literal geological feature of Kentucky and as a metaphor for the unconscious, the ancestral, and the unseen. Inspired by Kentucky’s rich geological history and cultural landscape, including references drawn from Appalachian folklore and the mythic sensibility found in works like Old Gods of Appalachia and Kentucky Route Zero, Terra Corpus will be both a place of stillness and a site for storytelling.
