My current art practice explores contemporary Native American identity through the lens of Diné (Navajo) womanhood. Inspired by acts of decolonization, environmental justice, Indigenous feminism, and futurism, my work dares to imagine a world where Native sensibilities are magnified. By way of fragmented abstraction, bodily scale, and the marrying of natural and synthetic materials, my work provokes conversations about what it means to be colonized in the present-day U.S. Additionally, drawing upon minimal forms derived from Diné symbolism, my sculptures, performances, and documentation become living bodies of sharp resistance to assimilation.
