I draw my ideas from how time, place, material, and culture intersect with my Mexican-American, Laguna Pueblo and Santa Clara Pueblo background within New Mexico and beyond. Within the medium of ceramics, its vastness allows for many avenues to be traveled. In all my practices, the process is just as integral as the outcome and often informs each other. They are parts that make up the whole. My work is heavily embedded in materiality of clay, process and arranged in relation to place and land. Within a position of gratitude and our interconnectedness meaning is made through my exploration of identity, history, built structures and experiences.
