Sombrasmias is Dorothy’s artist name. Sombrasmias is a combination of two Spanish words; shadows and mine, translating loosely to ‘My Shadows’. The particular piece featured in this exhibit is called ‘Sombras Blancas’, a work of plaster on canvas manipulated to create a texture that emulates nature, producing light and dark, an homage to her ancestors and Mother Earth. ‘Sombras Blancas’ literally translates to white shadows, an oxymoron. Sombras Blancas (White Shadows) Medium: Plaster On Canvas Size: 18x40” (2)
