Exploring the relationship of memory to body, materials, and place, as well as desire for harmony, peace, joy and humanity, Between Earth and Sky is a site specific multi media project. Comprised of a live performance, found object sculpture-instruments, fiber, sound and a performative video, the work was created in collaboration with Grokhovsky’s students during her time at UC Davis as Visiting Professor in The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residences.
