SHOOT! by Alfredo Cabrera is a one-act operatic monodrama  that explores the intersection of personal narrative, Venezuelan national history, and artistic experimentation.

2023 | Cotton Quilt | 48″x60″

I was adopted when I was three and I arrived with a bag of Korean “identity” including a large copy of A Handbook of Korea. The cover features a famous painting called titled Irworobongdo meaning sun, moon, and five peaks. Growing up the book was on my bedroom shelf and the image is locked in my memory as a visual idea of Korea. 

Inspired by the landscapes of the Irworobongdo and that of the American Western defined by the book True Grit by Charles Portis (and the Cohen brothers movie), the quilt illustrates the lived duality of being Asian and American.

2010 | Collaboration with Rachel Moore

Trade evolved out of a naturally existing gesture and a desire to document like moments. Removing ourselves from the restrictions of studio and gallery, we work with and in our daily lives, hoping to evoke the value of the quotidian and the value of relationships.

The documented actions embody a universal language of sustenance, trading goods/services, giving, receiving, and resourcefulness. It is an essential communication that, in some societies, has been replaced with a priority rooted in convenience.

Collaboration with Rachel Moore

E Pluribus Unum began as a public activity of resourcefulness, commitment, and a desire to contribute. Merging environmental and social awareness, we turned our interest in reusing and repurposing material destined to be refuse into an act of compassion.

Inviting the public to donate fabric scraps and time through Obama’s National Call to Service (www.usaservice.org), we shared the skill of sewing and utilized the open resourcefulness of many people working together toward a common goal. The patchwork of fabrics from many donations into single quilts resulted in gifts given to local homeless families as they began new lives in transitional housing. The quilt simultaneously serves as a utilitarian object, a symbol of home beyond physical space, and a gesture of belonging to a community.
