On The Way Home

Artist in Residence:  Ernel Martinez
With teaching artists:  Jared Wood and Becky Miller
With E3 West Youth and Place to Call Home alumni

In this installation, one in a series of works by Ernel Martinez, he visualizes content through a coding system that represents data and language. Youth were given the opportunity to purchase Items from local merchants that could be used for or were representative of home. The configuration of color bands reference games and maps, emphasizing the choices (and liberation) youth seemed to experience in the process.
