About Ejecta
Ari Larissa Heinrich’s Ejecta shuttles between various times and spaces—from the earth's surface, along a train ride across New York state and a junk shop in Fitzroy, Australia, to its inner, volcanic core—to unpack the geological strata trafficked by metaphoric language, and as a way to re-encounter the melanin sculptures of the artist Jes Fan.
