Abstract
Longing is an interpretation of a matriarchal genealogy pertaining to women in my immediate family. The goal of this body of work is to create a narrative that deviates from a specific space or time. It is honoring each woman for their own experience in life while simultaneously connecting them through elements that exist in different dimensions: the physical and the ethereal planes of the unknown. Longing places myself alongside the women who came before me, plucked from different timelines, not only to narrate their existence in a familiar place but to elevate the strength and wisdom gained through generational experiences. Stemming three generations, this series assigns each woman their own elements from nature based on my own memories with them, in turn constructing a familial mythology they share while maintaining their own unique individualism. My work explores the beauty of memory, emotion, interconnection, and cyclical patterns influenced by the colors, landscapes, plants, and animals of the southwest.
