Lucia Enriquez, Swamp Lantern, 2024, F, 24" x 36" x 1"
My art explores myth, from my cultural past in the Philippines, as well as my present in the Skagit Valley. In myths from the past, I explore themes from pre-colonial creation stories.
In the Skagit Valley, I have immersed myself in forests, spending time by myself in the woods. I watch sunlight filter through the trees in varying stages of growth and decay, smell resin in the air after a rain, marvel at swamp cabbage appearing like primordial candles in the Spring. My walks in the woods take me into something timeless, and I feel the surroundings as if they are extensions of my body.
By combining the past and the present, these paintings seek to ask: what qualities of the landscape might comprise future mythologies? What stories might define our shared future?
