“Food is medicine and the three sisters of corn, beans, and squash are indicative of that. The plants thrive when they are cultivated together in this form of companion planting; with the corn serving as a base from which the others flourish and nourish one another. I used elements of the plants to represent the dresses and our connectedness to the earth while also referencing an idea I had once while drawing a corn husk doll. The facial features are very minimal because I invite my viewer to see who they want to see.”
