Detail of ‘Childhood ‘memory station’ in Secret Museum of Mankind Installation
This piece was part of the installation Secret Museum Of Mankind where I created my own Natural History Museum, which included different ‘memory stations’: that represented my genetic past, childhood and future.
(Below) This mural is based off a original photograph obtained by my father during his service in the Bolivian Army in 1967. The characters in the piece are Che Guevara and his gang in the Bolivian jungles during their attempt to revolutionilize Bolivia. I used my father’s clothing and towels as materials.

The Future Diorama was composed of all of the galleries pedestals and natural elements such as plants, dirt, bones, toilet paper.
Donna,
I love your use of found material.
What inspired you to use your father’s clothing?
