Joanna Keane Lopez
Joanna Keane Lopez is a multidisciplinary artist whose work brings together contemporary sculpture, adobe architecture and land sourced practices as a reimagining of landscape and place. By working with materials of adobe, alíz, paper and plant & mineral based dyes her practice acts to address conceptions of sculpture in engagement with land. Through the passing down of knowledge of vernacular architectural techniques of the greater Southwest, Keane Lopez creates work that seeks healing and reparation of fragmentation towards land, home, family and community that is connected to her own multi-generational roots in New Mexico.
Keane Lopez has been supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. She has exhibited nationally at institutions which include: The Momentary of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, SITE Santa Fe, the National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum, and Blue Star Contemporary, and participated as artist in residence at A-Z West and Ucross Foundation.
