Danielle Hatch: All the Soarings Of My Mind Begin In My Blood

Danielle Hatch’s video meditates on heritage and collective care, documenting the ongoing collaboration between the presented women artists as part of a visual legacy of feminist art making practices. Its innovative use of a drone video camera to document the ritual observation of the fall equinox creates a metaphor for humans’ relationships with nature, especially culturally specific relationships with seasonal astronomical events.

The work presents a breadth of environmental details that define the Utah landscape’s high desert, prairie, mountain ranges, and salt flats to expand our environmental understanding of how diverse the US South is as a region broader than the southeast.

About the Artist:  Based in Northwest Arkansas, Danielle Hatch is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the female body’s relationship to the built environment, notions of artificiality, and power structures. She creates site-specific installations, sculptures, and performances. Hatch has a BA in architecture from Wellesley College and an MFA in Spatial Studies from UC-Santa Barbara.
