Since 1997, my work has explored connections with my maternal desert homeland Arequipa, Peru as its primary site. As an American revisiting my mother’s city every five years, I have found ways through my artwork to anchor myself to this land.
Conceptually, building blocks have been at the forefront of my practice. Considering economy of past and present, gold has played a strong role in my work as a reference to the once powerful Incan Empire and a way to remember how colonialism has played a role in deconstructing cultural landscapes. I have used gold to remind us of how we humans construct by placing an emphasis on the fragments line that potential joins us yet remembers what was broken like a scar.
