2025 - 2027
OPENING CEREMONY

Currently through 2026 I am creating a large body of works grouped into several distinct themes. All of them exist under the umbrella of ceremony and pre-colonial tradition. Each work requires at least one month of uninterrupted time, as they are first painted with many layers of acrylic, then an oil background is applied, and finally, many hours of beads are hand sewn in 6 to 10-hour sessions. The works are created to resemble offerings and royal and spiritual commissions for elaborate altars, homes and tombs.
