“Traditionally, resolana is a sunny side of a wall where people gather, share and sustain community especially during the fall and winter months. With a new urgency in our contemporary culture, the practice of resolana is something to keep alive within our communities, places to create relationships and hold space for community knowledge, tradition and creative expression.”

About the Artist

Joanna Keane Lopez is a multidisciplinary artist whose work brings together large scale installation, adobe architecture and sculpture as a reimagining of landscape and place. By working with materials of adobe, alíz, paper and natural dyes her practice acts to address new conceptions of sculpture in engagement with land. Through the passing down of knowledge of vernacular architectural techniques of the greater Southwest, Keane Lopez creates work that seeks healing and reparation of fragmentation towards land, home, family and community that is connected to her own multi-generational roots in New Mexico.
