Angelica Trimble-Yanu was born and raised in Oakland, California and is an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation. Angelica recently recieved a portfolio grant by the Regional Arts and Culture Council and is a current Artist in Residence at the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California. Her print and sculptural work explores concepts of Identity, Indigenous homeland, and traditional Lakota knowledge through the combined language of ancestral memory and sacred space. Angelica uses form to interpret otherworldly landscapes to communicate a diasporic dance between memory, place and resilience for Indigenous Nations. Her unique Landscape Monotypes and sculptural work bridge the spiritual and physical world together into an enticing visual embodiment of ceremony and tradition. Angelica looks to landscape as a non-static idea, but a dynamic site of cultural practice. You can find Angelica’s work at www.angeltrimbleyanu.com and through Instagram: @angelicayanu.
