They Think of Love as a Reddening of the Earth Under the Sun is a body of work that explores what happens at the intersection of the archive, biomythography, and spirit memory.
For the last 7 years I have been deeply immersed in origin stories – stories that say something about who we are, where we’ve been, and who we might become. I reflect on questions like: Who are our people? What are the rituals that have sustained and carried our families? What artifacts have we fashioned to bring magic, love, and life to lands and communities? I ask these questions as I wander and wonder through archives and maps, time, space and cultures to restore the stories that have been violently annotated or redacted. Each work of art in They See Love… is inspired by the stories of our ancestors to ground ourselves in communion with the land and community.
