Hope to trace the source of inspirations for "dream carrier" pieces: (1) the rapid growth of bamboo, (2) Athanasius Kircher's mix of accurately- depicted with entirely made-up fossils and his apparent belief in spontaneous generation in 1665, (3) the Georgian filmmaker Parajanov's many images of wrapped bodies of both men and women being carried from one culture to another; and (4) his own idea of cutural liminality and possibility.
