Using my practice to re-open portals of memory and to reconnect to my ancestral knowledge, I create personal ceremonial interventions in the landscape and sculptural installations, which become new visions and spaces to gather, to contemplate, to know, and to remember the land and the night sky. My Tongva heritage connects me deeply to the landscape of California. . . . I continuously look to deepen my connection and foster imaginations of what a decolonized existence might be. I am interested in the problematics of living in a place that once belonged to my ancestors, a place I feel connected to, yet have limited access to. Creating installations using photographs, sculpture, and intuition, I make maps for moving between worlds.”
