My work is feminist, spiritual, and surreal. I create in response to a world that is
excessively masculine, accelerated, and materialistic. We are watching compassion,
mindfulness, and reason being decimated in real time by a broken and aggressive
system. We search for antidotes to a feeling of despair.
This body of work was started in Oaxaca after the election as a way to process and
move through the times. I was drawn to warm colors, textures suggesting the passage
of time, and evocative figures. The work lures us back to the feminine like a protective
balm.
Most importantly, these icons serve as a reminder to nurture. To nurture ourselves and
others as a form of revolution! To open to tenderness, kindness, and the feeling of
belonging to each other. To create an intimate place within ourselves! In this way, we
stand up to the noise and fear. From this place, we are strong.
