Owyhee is an older spelling of Hawai'i, named after three Native Hawaiian trappers who disappeared in the region and never returned. Vesta is the Roman goddess of the hearth and home. Owyhee / Vesta is a journey both physical and symbolic to rediscover the home within oneself. The performance was a solo walk, beginning in Nyssa, Oregon, and following the Owyhee River all the way to the South Fork's headwaters near Tuscarora, Nevada, with only minimal gear. This trek mirrored the now lost migration of salmon, a species whose return was once guided by an innate homing instinct an instinct severed by the construction of the Owyhee Dam and the redirection of water for agricultural irrigation. This project was born from a desire to embody the path of these lost salmon to walk their absence and to reflect on the impact of reclamation and disconnection. The route was chosen for its proximity to Tuscarora, NV, a place that connects this journey back to my home and to another work, Tuscarora / Moon. Remote, wild, and raw, this landscape became my teacher.
