Headlands Center for the Arts

While at Headlands

While at Headlands, I plan on developing a series of works that focus on architecture, colonial powers and histories upon land in the Southwestern United States, domestic and military spaces, and emphasis of installation as an expression of painting. I’m excited to be in community with Headlands and its unique history as a military site and spend time next to the sea. 

Artist Statement

I am an artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico who works with adobe, paper, clay, wood, textiles and song. My work acts to continue the teachings of enjarradoras and adoberas, women who specialize in the traditional craft of adobe architecture. My practice restores the loss of vernacular land-based building methods through the production of sculpture, installation and hands-on educational workshops that navigate loss, fragmentation, land contamination and materiality.
