Maternal Mitochondria will be showing new work at this show with Womenswork.art in Poughkeepsie. It is a vulnerable series, where I photographed my mother in a New Mexican slot canyon (a la Laura Aguilar) after her cancer diagnosis.

A Rolleiflex print of mine is currently featured at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park in Hamilton, Ohio, as part of their FotoFocus series.

A juried open call show featuring local, national, and international photographers, Stories of the Land invites us to consider the land’s complexities, both the beautiful and the incomprehensible. Using many different approaches, the artists in this show contemplate humanity’s deep relationship with nature and their own place within it, capturing moments full of mystery and a longing to understand the world around us.

Art & Activism

Posted on Posted in art, collage, Events, feminism, free, Gallery show, Maternal Mitochondria, Railyard, Santa FeTagged , , , , , Leave a comment

Maternal Mitochondria will have a piece in the show “Art & Activism” with Axle Contemporary in Santa Fe.

OPENING: in Railyard Shade Structure by Farmers Market, Santa Fe, NM July 5 5pm-7pm. Exhibition continues through August 18.

Responding to the prompt “Rage,” Maternal Mitochondria took posts and tweets from the internet which inspired a pure and visceral rage in the artists. These quotes have been rearranged and placed in the context of female personifications of death. The three incarnations aren’t exactly vengeful Furies, but are related. Visually they are threatening, and even protective. They are also a reminder about how no life is exempt from death, not even patriarchal or woman-hating dominance can supersede death. It is the great leveler of humanity. Taken in context with the text, Mictecacihuatl, Santa Muerte, and Death in Her Cart seem to express rage but also the power of nature, which is often identified as female.
