HONOR THY MAKER challenges the concept of who the maker may be in relation to indigenous, non-indigenous traditions, and their intercultural exchanges. I use thread and cloth as my main medium, I understand fiber process as an alternative resistance as I begin to confront my sense of self in relation to the antagonistic cultural identity that I embody caused by colonialism. As a mixed Mexican and American woman from the U.S Southwest Mexico Border, I wrap and bind religious icons, sentimental objects, and raw materials to create a personal narrative that speaks to the amalgamation of religions and bi-cultural aesthetics within the borderland region. The action of wrapping and binding references the Mayan sacred bundles ritual in an attempt to connect with my indigenous ancestry, and question what the foundations of my ethnicity truly are. My wrapped works are my own observation of this ritual; I bind spiritual symbols that connect to border culture, land, and identity into a structure in a non-binary motion. This action visually expresses my internal resistance to forced Westernized belief systems imposed on my undiscovered ancestry. This forceful action merges the two and they become one like my heritage, like the border. Through wrapping and binding, I create a sense of self, an homage to the silenced voices over generations of assimilation trauma.
