For her site-specific wall drawing for the exhibition What drawing can be: four responses, Teresita Fernández extends her ongoing interest in what she refers to as “stacked landscapes,” her term for the ways in which terrain and materials extracted from the land, such as charcoal, can hold deep histories of Indigenous knowledge alongside colonial violence.
