SHIELD • YOUR • NEIGHBORS

Here in #LosAngeles, we protect our neighbors at all costs.

A family of 3, outlined in green, hide behind a roaring bear, as large foreboding black shadows with nightsticks and helmets lurk behind it. A green star outstretched at their feet as they try to hide from view. Text at the bottom reads in call caps: "SHIELD YOUR NEIGHBORS"

A look into my printmaking process! Transferring my sketch onto the lino, carving, rolling the ink, laying the paper on top, and voila!

New Linocut prints!

I've been loving this paper called poopoo paper for its texture. Going to experiment with a second layer print next.

#printpromptmonday #water

In this #woodcut diptych, water instead of land is the geographic anchor, with the Great Lakes blooming at the top of the map.

The map of my migration roots downward in defiance of the colonial map.

Title: My Migration Route | Iris Roots Clean the Water

#printsky

Woodblock diptych, each print is 60" x 20", printed on canvas and stretched.

Print on the left: fountain roll gradient of darker to lighter cerulean blue from the top to the bottom. The woodcut's image is a map of my migration route, drawn as a line extending from the Great Lakes at the top of the map.

Print on the right: the first layer is the same as the woodcut on the left. Printed over my migration route map is an iris flower in dark blue. The iris' petals overlay the Great Lakes. The stem and roots follow my migration route to my current home on the Pacific Northwest coastline.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

An Ethic is a Root navigates and negotiates how we arrive at our ethics. What do we risk when we uphold our ethics? And what makes the risks worthwhile?

The central image in this series is a map of my migration route, from where I grew up on the lands of the Kansa, Osage, Kickapoo, and Shawnee, to each of my homes including Teejop (land of the Ho-Chunk, Madison, WI) to my current home on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh in what is called Vancouver, British Columbia.

In the two woodblock prints, I made water, instead of land, the geographic anchor, with the Great Lakes blooming at the top of the map. I oriented the map with my route(s) growing downward.

My mother still resides in my last childhood home in rural Kansas. Agricultural runoff and nearby development have made the soil poor. The land around my mother’s house regularly erodes and floods when it rains.

Yet the iris flower continues to grow here. Irises are known for growing in places with polluted water, effectively removing toxins and holding soil together.

It's been a while since I've rock climbed but it was a great reminder to myself to keep trying in life even if you fall down. You'll reach your goal one day!
