Reliquia is a series of earthworks on paper that excavates legacies of land-body violence, extraction, and dismemberment in lands now known as the Southwest US. Blending techniques in adobe and cartoneria, works in Reliquia merge figuration and landscape to recall our interdependence with environment, the colonial hurts we share, and the erotics that lurk in our oneness.
