The installation included visual components and experimental sound scores created by women artists, along with live performances by McCloud and others.

[1][9] Early in her career, McCloud began playing with themes of spirituality and the body, often incorporating symbols and ritual imagery from Vodou and other diasporic religions.

Inviting audience members to participate during the original performance of Goofer Dust, McCloud aimed to evoke the spiritual and supernatural potential that collective dreaming is thought to possess.

With this participation and the surrounding symbols, Goofer Dust explored the body's relation to space, time, nature, community, the celestial, and ultimately itself.

This can be seen in Damballah Study, in which McCloud drew the symbols on a field of grass, as well as in Delete/Borrar/Efase and Crossroads, where veves for specific Iwas are used to create installations.
