Under the Silence –Governors Island Residency and installation
Work created during a collaborative residency on Governor’s Island, N.Y. with artist/activist Traci Molloy.
Our exhibit investigated what happens under the surface, where it may seem that all is still. Just as the mycelium under the ground are necessary for the fruiting bodies of mushrooms to emerge, the underlying systems of the human body (like the circulatory system, the lymphatic system etc.) function without our direct attention. By combining the visually accessible results of these hidden systems we are paying homage and reflecting on some of the unseen forces that occur when we seem to be at rest but are necessary for recognizable motion.
Responding to the palimpsest of history in our room on Colonial’s Row, explored adaption and resilience from both cultural and evolutionarily perspectives. The finished installation investigated interspecies entanglements and was guided by questions of visibility and adaptability, trauma and resilience.

Ear
A collaborative piece by Susan Camp and Traci Molloy
Indigo-painted antique linen, gourds
Dimensions variable – roughly -14x33x2”
Created for residency exhibition on Governors Island, N.Y. This piece was part of an installation (see more in the installation/performance section). We considered what happens below the surface, both in humans and in plant species - How do bodies – both plants and humans – adapt and modify in order to survive? What is the impact of a moving catalyst, what is the residue, and where does it lead us individually and collectively as a society?
