Drawing on the artist’s indigenous, queer, pagan, witchy, mutagenic, and chimerica identities this installation features new and existing work including digital prints, custom-designed ready-made objects in the form of shower curtains and pillows, video projection and screen-based video. The title of the exhibition is based around the concept of The Nierika, a sacred woven portal also known as "Ojo de Dios" in Spanish or Eye of God in English. This sacred object has been used by the Wixarika people as an amulet, talisman and tool for accessing spiritual magic. The Nierika expresses the idea of integration and a “binding together”. For the artist it represents not only how we are linked to a larger world through ecology, community, and spirituality but also how diverse hybridities are bound within the self. The Nierika therefore is not only a portal, an offering and a place of respite, but also a totem for a hybridized spirituality fusing self-fashioned identities in visual art, self- care and consciousness evolution. It is the core of the journey and the icon of self-discovery.
