“I have used palm oil in several works. Previously, I covered my body with palm oil. The obvious next step was to create casts. While walking in Richmond, I started picking up bricks to use as a base to place my casts. Based on the research I decided to create a monument, where the casts would lay on top of another to impart the sense of a pile of bodies.” Luis Vasquez La Roche
