Authentic New Mexico (2007)
In reference to the "architectural decor" of the city of Santa Fe and the hijacking of Amerindian culture by tourism, a series of five panels, each made up of an urban landscape associated with a figurine. The geometric take on the Kachina doll (as an explicit appropriation) insidiously signals the utterly factice nature of the adobe style that even fast-food joints feel they have to adopt. An amused look.
