In her powerful series (2022-present), Elkins weaves a narrative that connects family archives, historical documents, and early Alta California maps, illuminating the stories of land loss, assimilation, and resilience amongst Indigenous, Mexican, and multiracial ancestors in Southern California. As an 8th generation Angeleno, her work reflects a deep introspection into the historical conditions inherent to the soil—all while highlighting original indigenous names for locations and plant life both native and introduced.
Elkins, an acclaimed visual artist and educator, tackles themes of gender, race, and identity through a lens that examines the influence of systemic structures—from colonization to power dynamics. Her thought-provoking approach oscillates between formal, conceptual, and documentary styles, inviting viewers to engage with her family’s complex history on Tongva/Gabrielino land.
📸 Discover Elkins’ captivating works that have graced international exhibitions and revered publications, and learn how her art challenges perceptions and fosters understanding about our shared histories.
Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into a narrative that is as enlightening as it is transformative. Join us in reflecting on the landscape of our past and present.
