Video Title:
Meet Consuelo Jimenez Underwood
Description:
An interview with the artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood Consuelo Jiménez Underwood grew up in California, the eleventh of twelve children born to a Chicana mother and a Huichol Indian father. She was the first person in her family to finish high school, and went on to enroll in religious studies and art at San Diego State University. She started as a painter, but became interested in fiber art while in college and soon turned all of her attention to weaving and textile design. Underwood imbues her pieces with powerful messages about her Chicana heritage, creating images that call attention to the dangers that Mexicans face trying to cross the border into the United States in search of a better life. http://www.americanart.si.edu/luce/artist.cfm?key=344&artistmedia=471&object=184033&subkey=109555
