Feminist Art in the Trump Era
I’m very pleased to be a part of this upcoming show at Axle Contemporary in Santa Fe!
Feminist Art in the Trump Era
juried by Lucy R. Lippard
September 11 – November 3
Feminist Art in the Trump Era is an exhibition of works by 27 New Mexico based artists that explore various feminist realities and rants. Works chosen for this exhibition from an open call to New Mexico based artists resonate with the hopefully soon- to-be-extinct Trump era. The exhibition will take place on the occasion of the 100 year anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution and the 10 year anniversary of the founding of the Axle Contemporary mobile artspace.
TIAMAT
The second sculpture of the summer is completed! A companion piece to Scratch– TIAMAT, ancient Near Eastern goddess of primordial creation, goddess of where fresh water meets salt. Brought to you by the Maternal Mitochondria creative team.
“who invented
the drawn outline
30,000 years ago
trees sketched by fire
stand skeletal
you change your name
as easily
as I change my clothes
one moment—City
the next—Chaos”

Forest Fire
Forest Fire, assemblage in a matchbox, 2020
In the aspen forests of New Mexico, fire is necessary for survival. Without forest fires the aspen trees won’t flourish. They’re a link between life and destruction, change and death. Of course, with the ramping up of climate change, fires in the Southwest are also terrifying and will probably become more frequent due to water scarcity and a hotter climate.
With the addition of photography using the readymade of a woman’s body, ideas of inside/outside, the destructive and nurturing behavior of humans, and the container of “femaleness” are all issues being raised.
