I began using a camara in 1972 as a means of earning a living and attempting to support a small documentary film production group in Mexico City. For the past 15 years I have been working with images that first apear in my night dreams, day dreams, fantasies and the imaginary. An important focus during this time has been "Dreams and Myths" (palladium/platinum prints) images based on a series of images that first appeared in my dreams. As a result of "Dreams and Myths" process, I did an independent studies project at the University of New Mexico, working with ceramics to produce masks and pieces to be used in my photographs. In 1991 is received the Guggenheim Fellowship for the "Dreams and Myths" series. Photographing "dreams and Myth" transformed my vision of photography for ever.
Parallel to the "Dreams and Myth" work I developed "Con el Corazón Partido, Inmigrantes Mexicanas en Nuevo México" (With a Split Heart, Mexican Inmigrant Women in New Mexico), inspired in the previous project of "Las Mujeres de la Tierra del Sol", an oral history and photo documentation of Mexican immigrants in New Mexico. The project will culminate in a series of radio programs to be aired in Mexico City and in New Mexico as well as a traveling exhibit to be displayed in both countries. As a result of the oral history projects, I have lectured and lead oral history workshops for community groups and schools.
"Las Mujeres de la Tierra del Sol" (Women from the Land of the Sun), is a collection of recorded oral histories and environmental portraits reflecting the lives of Hispanic women in New Mexico. In collaboration with the University of New Mexico College of Education, we are developing bilingual education curricula and materials utilizing the oral history and photographs of this project. A series of radio programs have been produced with the audio tapes from the oral history interviews.
