Jackrabbit & Cottontail is a dreamscape that
gathers together personal experience without
time constraints, so they may all exist on
the same plane. Precontact, contemporary,
childhood, motherhood. I shot the photograph
from the Chemehuevi Reservation shoreline
of Lake Havasu. Jackrabbit and Cottontail
reference mythological brothers whose
heroism made earth habitable in Chemehuevi
oral history. —Cara Romero
