Mayen Alcantara

Through sculpture, video, sound, drawings, and the collection of artifacts, my work explores an expanded notion of terrain, re-imagining a history of how the land has changed in response to use and natural forces.  The work ranges from a video mapping locations within the Providence Place Mall using a lexicon of body movements derived from bees, to a 2500 square foot outdoor installation of solar powered LED lights that "re-contours" the topography of a section of the Fidelity campus.  It reflects a hybrid form of artistic practice that straddles scientific inquiry and aimless wandering.
