In 2010, EL Anastui created his sculpture Ink Splash, from aluminum and copper wire. This photo is from an installation at the Bass Museum of Art. The piece is inspired by Anastui's local environment as well as monumental references to colonial relationships between Europe, Africa, and the United States. At first glance, it reminded me of a map of bodies of water and the Earth. I like how it looks as if the "water" is spilling off the canvas and spreading to the floor. After knowing the inspiration of the piece, a story is being told in this sculpture and it can be interpreted differently by anyone who looks at it.
