Roxanne Márquez (they/she) is an interdisciplinary Chicana artist and scientist based in Albuquerque, NM. They are focused on creating art that communicates our (meta)physical entanglements with ecological processes and with other organisms. The majority of their work is process-based and research-based, involving decomposable materials, natural dyes, textiles, drawing, creative writing, scientific research, and often extends into collaboration with soil, fungi, bacteria, plants, humans, and other animals. They draw on their experiences within ecological research to create art that incorporates themes of decomposition and healing through the restorative visceral experiences of the body and the land. Roxanne is ever-inspired by the ecocultural futures and histories that are continually sown into the soils we stand on and strives to continue this deep investigation of our intertwinement with the land. By leaning into the intersections of biology, social justice, and art, they strive to contribute to broader-scale change that prioritizes restoration of self, the land, and our relationships with other beings — regardless of species.
