Daydreams Under a New Sky
Cheesecloth, acrylic, wire

This place is harsher than expected; full of biting insects in the summer and colder than death in the winter. The land is rocky and treed and will need clearing before life can start. The racism here is a hard blow and being left on this land (this is not farmland!) with such few belongings and no other help is unsettling. Other groups received some financial help from the government, and even others the sharing of an animal and plow. The courage, work and resolve it will take to survive this feels daunting. The stars are different here.
