Mariposa, 2020 exhibited at Peak, located inside Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre, was part of a series of exhibitions titled Distant Peak, which took place months before the long announced closing of the Shopping Centre.
Mariposa/Butterfly, 2020, consists of a video of a Small White butterfly or Cabbage White, flying around inside my apartment's kitchen projected sideways onto a temporary-built wall inside the gallery. This species, a natural to Mediterranean Europe spread to Eurasia, North Africa, North America, New Zealand and Australia through the development of human trade routes and the diversification of cabbage crops.
Moneda/Currency, 2020, a series of Mexican Peso coins that were hand carried by the artist into the UK, placed on the beauty salon counter that was left behind from a previous business inside the gallery space.
Bienvenida/Welcome, 2020, a welcome mat with a black and white image of the Union Jack purchased from Magic Carpets, a carpet shop inside the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre, installed behind the gallery’s front door.
