Kit: Kit Carson was a 19th century US scout, soldier and Indian agent. Viewed by some as a compassionate friend of the Native Americans, and by others as responsible for the death of thousand of Native Americans.
‘Kit’ uses a simple light emitting diode, powered by a urine fueled battery, that in turn is set against the New Mexico ‘mesa’ landscape. The overall effect is quieting and chronistic in form.
