Inspired by the religious-educational dioramas and videos at the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah, her work combines complex elements of pseudo-historical reenactment, cultural-religious symbology, and dance, and explores the convergence of myth-making, costume play and popular culture.\u00a0 The \u201cevidence\u201d on display includes a ten foot knitted ladder made of paper, a video work, works on paper, and a costume from the video displayed in a diorama of the achronistic American frontier. The video element was created during her recent residency at the Rhiger Ranch, and co-directed by Ben Rhiger.<\/p>\n<p>View the video here:<a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/23533312\"> Ladder Day<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The work is on display at SCRAP&#8217;s Re:Vision Gallery at 2915 NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Portland, OR from May 6th to June 24th, 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3,7,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-amalgamated","category-delineated","category-installed","category-worn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=215"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221,"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215\/revisions\/221"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eleanorray.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
