CANDELAR 2022: CANDARCH
MARCH FEATURE:
Richmond, VA artist and Miami native, Ash Llanes’ lush palm fronds image references their culture and upbringing in Miami. This photo is from a series about the love and humidity of their surroundings.
I am a queer identifying artist who makes personally political work about my Cuban American identity, my affinity with Miami and it’s culture, and my relationship to my upbringing as a Catholic and how it has affected me in my adult life.
These topics are demonstrated through photos, collage, and zine and bookmaking.
