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.
