Join Santa Fe-based artists Cristina González and Valerie Rangel for the debut of a special craft showcase of paper-based installation art. 

 

González presents Apapachando La Matria, a series of suspended drawings and paintings on amate paper that depict five generations of women in González’ matrilineal family line. The monumental installation debuted at Vladem Contemporary's Window Box space in 2023.

 

Rangel debuts artworks from an ongoing series of figurative cut paper compositions, featuring historical figures and Indigenous deities. The display is anchored by a window installation depicting the Diné  goddess Asdzą́ą́ Nádleehé, also known as the Navajo Changing Woman or Mother Earth.
