This solo exhibition was, in part, the result of Consuelo Underwood creating a site-specific mixed media installation on an ArtRage gallery wall. It also included a selection of her fiber and woven art from the past thirty years. Underwood says her work “is a reflection of personal border experiences: the interconnectedness of societies, insisting on beauty in struggle, and celebrating the notion of ‘seeing’ this world through my tri-cultural lens. I think we, as a nation, should be taking care of the land and its flowers. The ‘borders’ are taking a toll on the flora and fauna of America. The ecological balance has been altered and the ‘border’ is creating a desert wasteland that will cross the entire North American continent.”
