Description: "Spanish for 'Flights,' 'Vueles' is a crossroads of narratives. The first focuses on the migration of the endangered Red Knot, whose non-stop flight takes it between where I live in the Delaware Bay Area and where my family lives in Argentina. The second story focuses on Argentina's Dirty War and the genocide that was organized by the military regime at that time. At the crossroads of these two stories is where I stand"--Artist Book News website, viewed on June 10, 2015.
