This project was made as part of a collaboration with Dakota Mace and Kéyah Henry, for Dakota’s ongoing work Naaldeh. The exhibition is located at Bosque Redondo, NM, the site of a former concentration camp of Diné and Ndé peoples.

This work was made with the intent of creating a holding space for the place and the residual memory of this.

The silk, dyed with cochineal, have painted indigo stars throughout the fabric and corn husks printed along the bottom. The corn husk prints are imprinted on the fabric in an effort to bring corn to the holding space, and the stars are not only an embodiment of those who stayed and did not return home, but also a thought to the sky being a universal home, connecting everything.
