Food, dyes, drugs, and fibers—nature can do it all. 🌿 studio.sandyrodriguez connects with her indigenous roots by making her own natural pigments from minerals, plants, and insects she finds in the western U.S. Rodriguez references the Florentine Codex, plant medicine, and the Mexican artists who raised her to create paintings that honor indigenous knowledge systems and shed light on contemporary issues, like U.S. immigration policy.
