"Diana Eusebio's first solo museum exhibition, Field of Dreams at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, is a homecoming in many ways. The award-winning Peruvian Dominican artist grew up in the city, and her work is steeped in the local community and its natural environment. The exhibition features more than 30 works rooted in Eusebio's unique practice of combining textiles hand-coloured with natural dyes-drawing on her African and Indigenous heritage-with digital prints."
"Dyeing fabrics with materials like avocados, cochineal, Spanish moss, indigo and marigolds, Eusebio overlays digital portraits, family photos and landscapes onto fabrics, creating richly textured works that speak to the personal and communal experience of remaking home. While evoking ancestral memory and tradition, Field of Dreams references the unravelling edges of the American dream, baseball-a popular sport in the Dominican Republic and a way of attaining the elusive dream for many migrants to the US-and a new generation of "dreamers" caught between two worlds."
Diana Eusebio's Field of Dreams at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami presents over 30 works combining hand-coloured textiles and digital prints. Eusebio dyes fabrics with avocados, cochineal, Spanish moss, indigo and marigolds, drawing on African and Indigenous heritage. The artist overlays digital portraits, family photographs and landscapes onto richly textured textiles. The works examine identity, migration and the meaning of home through ancestral memory and communal experience. The exhibition ties local Miami imagery and archival family photos to broader themes of the American dream, baseball as a migrant aspiration, and the precarious position of a new generation of dreamers.
