Vicuña utilizes found objects culled from walks along the deltas, beaches, waterways, and streets of the Louisiana coast
in her large - scale installations that stretch across the floor of the
gallery, such as Balsa Snake Raft to Escape the Flood (2017), and
small - scale visual
configurations, such as Precarios (2017), made up of 117 found - object sculptures that spread discursively across the walls of the
gallery and operate as thoughtful meditations on the uncanny beauty of this natural and artificial sea - detritus.
