Transformation Journey
$250
Matte fine art paper
24”x36”
A personal favorite part of my culture’s creation story. The journey of transformation, has always been a personal intrigue of mine. Before dukʷibəɫ “moon transformer” changed everything as we see it today on earth, all the beings spoke the same language and lived among one another. The great change began when 2 sisters awoke in sky world and were married to two stars; the sister who married the red star, had a child (baby moon). When the sisters returned to earth by a cedar rope, their people had a celebration; this is when dog salmon stole the baby from under grandmother toad’s watch. Which would lead to the great journey of dukʷibəɫ (the moon) and the creation of earth.

Music for Weavers is an expression and processing of relationship abuse, survival, and recovery. The works from this series - The Fawn, Living Cinema, Gambit, and Reintegration Matrix - embody the quiet rage of a weaver who executes patterns obediently, her mind thriving secretly in dreams of living undisrupted by social and interpersonal agreements. Drawing on the power and pain locked inside patternmaking, repetition, and the destruction of obligations, artists Twyla Sampaco and enereph (Connie Fu) provide a transformative sanctuary for viewers intent on dissolving oppressive bonds. By opting to show the face obscured by a mask crafted from fragments by Oakland-based craftsperson and artist Sadie Greyduck, and by using multiple exposure techniques on different film stocks, these portraits adamantly resist the viewer’s access to the soul, instead refracting the gaze through a sea of scarlet.

This painting reflects the trauma that immigration detention centers have on families and children. The gray buildings represent confinement and the systems that separate families.

Where branches remember
$1900
Charcoal pencils on paper
45” x 32”
This artwork is one of three connected images in a continuous series. The charcoal drawings are created across three separate sheets of paper, each carrying its own layer of storytelling while forming a unified narrative. The first drawing, The Distance Between Seeing and Knowing, contains my self-portrait. While the viewer looks at the artwork, I—as the artist—am hidden within the image and quietly confront the viewer from inside the frame. It reflects the subtle tension between observation and understanding.
In the second connected piece, Where Branches Remember, densely layered branches overlap and intertwine across the surface. Within this intricate tangle, small birds sit quietly among the branches. The eye from the first image—representing the artist’s hidden self-portrait—transforms into the form of a bird. In this way, the artist who was concealed in the first drawing reappears, now embodied as a bird, emerging from within the image and revealing itself to the viewer.
The third drawing, Branches Becoming Memory, gradually reduces the presence of the branches. Instead, eye-like forms dissolve into droplet-like shapes, while a flock of birds flies into the distance. The increasing empty space within the composition emphasizes a sense of departure and fading presence.This charcoal drawing series highlights the contrast between dense layered patterns and intentional negative space. Through metaphorical imagery—self-portrait/eye, branches, and birds—the works explore visibility, transformation, and the quiet transition from presence to memory.
