"Mapping Out the Land" draws the eye immediately through its layered tension between organic and synthetic materials. Teresa Baker positions dried corn husks and wound yarn against spray-painted canvas, all mounted on a ground of Astroturf, creating a work that quietly interrogates the distinction between what grows from the earth and what is manufactured to simulate it. The scale, nearly two and a half meters tall, is commanding, and the composition rewards sustained attention as the eye moves between the fibrous textures of the husks, the rhythmic linearity of the yarn, and the gestural energy left by the spray paint beneath. Baker, an artist of Blackfeet and Métis heritage, grounds her practice in questions of land, sovereignty, and the complex relationship between Indigenous communities and the territories they have historically inhabited and continue to inhabit. In this work, the act of mapping becomes both literal and metaphorical. The materials themselves carry meaning: corn, a sacred agricultural staple across many Indigenous cultures, is placed in dialogue with Astroturf, a surface that mimics natural land while erasing it. The yarn suggests cartographic lines, boundaries drawn and redrawn across landscapes by forces external to the people who know them best. At 248.9 by 167.6 centimeters, this is a work scaled for significant institutional or private collection contexts, offering visual authority as well as conceptual depth. Signed by the artist and currently available through de boer, "Mapping Out the Land" represents a meaningful acquisition for collectors drawn to contemporary Indigenous art that operates with both material intelligence and political clarity.
