TRANSPLANTED BELONGING, 2009

SCULPTURE BY C. HATFIELD ET AL

Question: How do U.S. census racial/housing demographics compare with unconscious choices by a
cross-section of St. Croix’s people?

Project: Cruzians selected ceramic skin-toned talismans to represent themselves; then placed them upon a symbolic landscape. Hatfield completed with hand-made landscape-toned tiles.

Results: Participants filled hilltops with all colors; where actually, wealthy Caucasians dwell. In general,
people see themselves as more mixed & unified; less divided than the U.S. government designations.
