The pilgrimage had a profound impact on her sense of identity and vision as an artist. The resulting sculptural installation is multi-layered with political, cultural, and personal imagery. Flores has chosen to convey complex themes such as her own family’s exile, Cuba’s history, and Castro’s dictatorship in a deceivingly simple folk art style that includes sculptural toys, puppets and furniture.

Features photographs by Barry Anderson from his Suspension Series (2000-2002) and Spheres (1998-2000 ). “We can find refuge from the world in the world,” says Anderson. “And that’s the place—or more appropriately the space—I try to reveal in my videos and photographs, a place between the two extremes—between heaven and earth, expectation and the everyday, the macrocosm and the microcosm, desire and fulfillment. Call it an enduring moment that’s at once in and beyond time.” For further information call Judith Tolnick at 401-874-2775 or email jtolnick@uri.edu.
