Reflecting on one of the foundational ideas associated with the American experiment, that we are all equal and entitled to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, Another Place Within explores the complex histories of the Stenton House and grounds and the people that inhabited them. The work in this exhibition specifically engages with the history of agriculture at and around Stenton and the role of the land to provide sustenance to those who lived and labored there. Based on research into objects housed in the Stenton collection and archeological records, the large-scale ceramic sculptures take the form of archetypical structures that are commonly associated with agrarian society. Placed throughout the grounds and in juxtaposition to the urban surroundings of Germantown, the sculptures are meant to reflect on the past uses of the land. Within each of these works there is an entrance to an interior space which represents those that have been omitted from the historical record; whether they be indigenous, tenant farmers, or enslaved people.
