Printmaking
This is a half-tone serigraphy print that captures a treasured family memory. A moment frozen in time of my mother and her cousins riding horseback together across the Jicarilla Apache reservation. The halftone effect, with its delicate layering of dots, gives the piece a dreamlike quality, evoking the way memories sometimes blur and fade at the edges, yet remain vivid at the heart. The riders are silhouetted against a vast sky, their figures partially softened by the technique, as if being gently pulled into the fabric of history itself. Set against the backdrop of nature, hardy sagebrush, distant trees, and open horizons. The scene speaks of freedom, deep family bonds, and the timeless connection to the land. The choice to print outdoors and photograph the piece with the surrounding greenery heightens this sense of continuity between past and present, between ancestors and our descendants.
