2500

“As Chicana/os, we are a displaced people of many nations of origin, living in diaspora in the United States. Our mestisaje – perhaps more a political idea rather than a fact of biology -- was forced upon us. How do we recover from the shock of displacement, the loss of indigenous memory? How do we rekindle the home-fire? The painting is the record along the road. It allows me to think, meditate, to assume the posture of ceremony, to pay attention in that deep way. The door opens to us, just by spending time looking at the images, the symbols. And we begin to understand. These paintings and installations are a conceptual language, a suggestion of how to find our way back to home.”
