‘Where Do We Go From Here'?’

Located at Milhaus, 460 Virginia Avenue, Indianapolis, IN

Site-specific window installation with Indianapolis Contemporary

Vinyl and rust printed quilting fabric

2019

Where Do We Go From Here? documents the story of changes occurring in the city infrastructure by experimenting with the language of construction materials: their structure, graphics, textures, and juxtaposition with nature. The site-specific installation by Indianapolis-based Shamira Wilson, employs rusted construction ReMesh in an oxidation printing method, transferring gridded rust imprints onto fabric.

Wilson is interested in the transformation that takes place during the rust printing process, exploring the meaning of these materials by removing them from their expected context, and thinking about how they speak to the fabric of our everyday lives.
