“Mind of the Mound, Critical Mass”

I am doing some cleaning up.  I have been posting kind of randomly from some of the places I have been.  Then I post something that happens right away, and then I see what else I have shot and not yet posted.  So this is another photograph from one of the exhibitions at Mass MoCA.  The exhibition is called “Mind of the Mound, Critical Mass” and it is by an artist named  Trenton Doyle Hancock, who lives and works in Houston, Texas.  "This story of the Mounds and Vegans forms the core of the Moundverse— a vast creation myth containing these and other characters, all of whom spring from the mind and hands of the artist".  It is an enormous exhibit.  "Hancock began to develop a singular and systematic mythology, which has progressed over the years. Ultimately birthing his own creation myth— envisioned through paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, videos, and installation - this body of work has coalesced at MASS MoCA, reaching a critical mass decades in the making."  This piece is called “Undom Endgle” - "The most powerful being in the Mountverse, Undom is the reincarnated soul of Mount #1 the Legend.  She presides over the Everydaycare Canter, where the Souls of departed Mouns play eternal games". If you can't follow this, please don't feel badly - it is puzzling to me, but really interesting in how creative many of these objects in the exhibit are.
