PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island One of my first encounters with the work of Liz Collins was her installation for the New Museum’s 2017 exhibition Trigger, Gender as a Tool and a Weapon. Filling a narrow, dimly lit room, “Cave of Secrets” (2017) created an immersive environment that encouraged people to stay, engage with the work, and socialize.
