As an interdisciplinary artist, I explore the intersection between cultural, collective, and personal identity, and how these reflections on the self shape the southern and southwestern regions of the United States. In narrative-based work I create images and objects that are rooted in myth and spirituality yet reflect the memories, histories, and heritage of my family. The work is situated between cultural borders and discusses the exchange of influences that are accumulated through generational movement. Prominent themes include the displacement and replacement of culture, language, nationality, and questions about what family, home, loss, authenticity, and assimilation mean and look like in a postcolonial society.
