“Using materials related to home-making and home-building, I seek to render feminine lived experience in tactile ways, exploring womanhood as an identity constructed through narrative.” — Danielle Hatch.

Danielle Hatch’s video meditates on heritage and collective care, documenting the ongoing collaboration between the presented women artists as part of a visual legacy of feminist art making practices. Its innovative use of a drone video camera to document the ritual observation of the fall equinox creates a metaphor for humans’ relationships with nature, especially culturally specific relationships with seasonal astronomical events.

The work presents a breadth of environmental details that define the Utah landscape’s high desert, prairie, mountain ranges, and salt flats to expand our environmental understanding of how diverse the US South is as a region broader than the southeast.
