In my works, landscape and pattern are used to reimagine this tale of modernity and progress in the Americas. Mapping, topographical painting, and botanical illustration co-exist simultaneously with pattern and free-flowing geometry inspired by Pre-Columbian and traditional textiles and ceramics. These traditional textiles are often created by women, and, as "women's work" created in the post-Columbian context, they both echo and resist European modes of representation. Elements of Neo-Concrete painting and modernist design are also present, undermining the fantasy of the sublime, authentic landscape by interrupting its traditional conventions and framing. The geometry in the drawings--traditional and modernist--operates on a separate plane than the landscape, and proposes an open-ended simultaneity of cultures, and an alternate imaging of Latin American modernity and futurity.
