@The Fábrica, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Beneath us, the vadose zone-the layer between sky and groundwater, where water seeps through soil, fungi, rock, and time - porous space of flow and sinks, where nothing moves quickly, and nothing remains unchanged.

In this collaborative installation, we reimagine the vadose zone not just as a geological layer, but as a shared condition of multispecies, subterranean processes-bodily, emotional, ecological. We trace the flows of minerals from stardust to teeth, industrial waste to fungi, sweat to soil, love to leak. These flows, and their resistance to containment, become a map of contamination, persistence, and the possibility of repair.

At the heart of the project is fluorite: a cosmic mineral refined into PFAS, the toxic "forever chemicals" now found in soil, water, fungi, plants, animals, dust, rain, snow-in everything, everywhere.

Through textiles, mixed media, collage, found objects, specimens, field stations, and visual poetics, artists Joy Schendledecker, Ann Altstatt, and Avi Conant metabolize this terrain together. Their work invites you into an electrical ecology of tears, spores, and signals - where healing metabolizes through
cumpoesis seening recombining and - where healing metabolizes through sympoesis, seeping, recombining, and remembering.

The Fábrica is a community workspace where folks can come to learn and share knowledge about textiles arts. This includes Sewing, Knitting, Quilting, Embroidery, Crochet, and Bookbinding, among other arts. The workshop is operated by volunteers and funded by donations from participants. We have sewing machines as well as generous amounts of fabric, zippers, notions, and the other tools and supplies one needs for most sewing and yarn-based-projects. @the_fabrica_
