My work represents an inherent connection to this land that is impertinent to our past, present, and future Indigenous generations. I began to create abstract Monotype prints, almost obsessively- constantly pulling visuals of strata and mountainscapes from memory. I found there was a strong need for reconnection to sacred land through the process of monotypes. This process of repetitive making was part of my resistance to the disappearance of my memory of my ancestral homelands in South Dakota. Using symbolism and color as a powerful form of language to share and hold traditional knowledge is important to me. I am interested in how Indigenous relations to storytelling and narrative can look like in the future.

Light, movement, and time are transcribed into the malleable surfaces of my pieces, embodying a tangibility of ceremony and tradition that transcends settler notions of time and space. I look to landscape as a non-static idea, but a dynamic site of cultural practice.
