Mixed media ceramic “portraiits” of my maternal ancestors. None of them carried their own surnames, owned property of their own, or voted. They all, however, benefited from the colonial project, arriving in North American in the 1600s and supporting their husbands, fathers, sons as they took land and resources and made lives that resulted in my priveledges and opportunities.
