For Gonzales, art is a form of healing. [R]ituals, ceremonies, and initiations unite body and mind in ways that involve a more intense physical and mental participation, flexibility, and release that we can only imagine. The healing brought about from these experiences, and from her extensive traveling which informs her perception of the world and her place in it, perpetuates a flood of images that provides endless sources of birth and rebirth. Her work is bold, intuitive, and viscerally personal. We can feel the presence of a multi-faceted American culture, uniquely blending diasporic cultures, their knowledge, and their practices into our contemporary and immediate lives.
