about this series

Provider is the distillation of Alvieno James De Matos Oliani Stinson’s experiences traveling through the South Pacific. His work addresses the trade of goods, the development and proliferation of cultures over time, concepts of modernity and primitivism, and spirituality.

Artworks double as burlap sacks carrying items indicative of the material culture of the region, such as coconut, betelnuts, chicken bones, and sugar.
