Wiçoni Zentli,
Dakotah for “Life” and Nahuatl for “Corn,” honors the primordial energy that
inspired the birth of zentli in Anahuak – North America – thousands of years
ago.

The installation of the two vertically hanging sheets of
handmade paper, slightly under 11 x 3 feet, and the 15-foot long unfolding
cornfield are created from four types of zentli (corn) grown in Minnesota. The installation ties the life-giving energy of zentli to the birth and survival of human beings on Ixachilanka, the “American” Continent, and beyond.
