Gravida is a site-specific installation that comprises the first cut of a video, along with documentation photography and an installation of vintage dresses intervened with red clay. Gravida explores the notion of fertility, pregnancy and birth. For the video, 400 pounds of red clay, 31 women of all ages and walks of life along with doulas, shamans, and conscious movers participated in a ritual, all with a connection with fertility practices and healing. Gravida is a tribute to primal femininity and women who have experienced their bodies to their fullest potential. The dresses, stained with clay, hang as a testimony to these women and the rituals performed.
