Strangers

Artist Eric Rieger, akaHOTTEA, gathers loose threads to make monumental installations.

Each thread is untethered and able to freely move with a passing breeze.

The word Stranger often times has a negative connotation,he writes.

“Strangers”

I titled this installation STRANGERS because I liked the idea of referring to a stranger as a positive thing.

Then, a driver waited four hours for them to arrive from their flight.

We then went on-site and met Raquel, HOTTEA recalls.

At first she was a stranger but very quickly became a huge positive impact on our trip.

She translated, directed, observed, taught, and was patient.
