This series explores the colors, layers, and textures of the Grand Canyon and how years of drought, climate change, and increased water use have exhausted this natural resource. These works are a layering of ink jet photographs, latex painted Bristol paper, the map we used daily to navigate our 2022 rafting journey down the river, handmade Tamarisk paper with fibers I foraged from the southwest, and cotton thread— several of these paper constructions are hand-stitched to symbolize unity, repair, restoration, and reconnection.
