Grand Avenue Changes

.- As I mature as an artist, and as a human being on this planet, I realize that everything I do is actually just one thing, says Nikesha Breeze. In my art, which is my life, I want to touch the world, as I am touched. Wound touching wound. This transcendent notion informs every aspect of the Taos artists sweeping exhibition Four Sites of Return: Ritual | Remembrance | Reparation | Reclamation.
