Engine uses one of the oldest fibers known to man (felted wool) to create a cave-like structure, with two chambers: Petroglyph Hall (with hand prints of those who contributed to the making of the project) and the Engine Core, which is complete with stalactites, stalagmites, and integrated seating. In this space, a cycle of Indigenous storytellers appear in the form of a projected hologram on various areas of the cave wall. I am interested in how the teachings in the stories I’ve included address the forces of good and evil in the world and the role of humans and community in this web of life.
