Dakota Mace combines photography, natural dyes, cyanotype, chemigrams, and hand-applied glass beadwork to explore Diné history, storytelling, and relationships to land. Drawing on traditional weaving and silversmithing motifs, she creates richly layered works in which landscapes become living archives of memory, kinship, and cultural continuity. Her practice challenges Western ideas of land ownership, instead presenting place as an extension of identity and a vessel for ancestral knowledge passed across generations.
