In the artist’s words, her latest work “comes out of a constellation of ideas around landscape painting, self-organizing matter, and the view of ‘things’ as aggregates. While these are for the most part landscapes, I am interested in the matter that constitutes the ground, and how it relates to human bodies and culture. I want to show matter as the principle actor, whether it’s as gold coursing through economies or teeth, or charcoal and pigment depicting dirt and mud.”

For New Year's Eve Faith(far right) led the parade with a float she made in homage to Carmen Miranda. She carved fruit out of foam, and had a trailer attached to the truck with a swingin' band! then enlisted her retinue to dance around.
