Mateer says “these images are meant to celebrate a diverse group of women, transformed and unified by bold color, pattern and natural forms that reaffirm the female connection to powerful forces of nature and the earth. By combining photography, painting and digital collage I hope to suggest that hybrid forms allow for revelations in making and understanding.” Part of a larger series, these images are a reaction to her own anger and fear, and hope, to events this past year.  The hope is that women and other marginalized people gain more equality.
