In 1999 I started a community collaborative project based on amulet traditions found throughout the world. The project engaged over 5000 people from 35 nations. Each participant wrote a wish, hope, dream or prayer and sealed it in a beaded packet. The name of the project comes from the shared etymology of the words bead and prayer. The project has been shown in 25 venues and is now traveling to Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar.

In this two-person exhibit, "Clark investigates simple objects as cultural interfaces. Using items such as a comb, a piece of cloth, or a strand of hair, she wonders how they come to have meaning collectively. The history, function and material of objects direct the form, scale, and material choices of her work. Henr�quez explores racial, ethnic, gender, and cultural stereotypes through sculpture, collage, prints, video, installations, and sound. Her work often fuses formalities of economics, current events, and Art History with vernacular life in the Caribbean."
through March 25
