78. Artist:
Guerrero-Cruz, Dolores
Title: Untitled (The Bride)
Date: February 19-28, 1985
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 27 3/4" x 39 3/4"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "The bride is a statement about my struggle as an
artist who leaves the professional field of art in order to survive
as a single parent. During this time, this woman feels like she is
slowly dying because she is not able to be what she wants to be. This
is not against marriage, but a statement that one must be what she
really wants to be before she can be anything else. Women have a harder
struggle than men simply because we are women; I hope that for the
women of tomorrow the struggle to make their lives better will be
easier." D. Guerrero-Cruz

80. Artist:
Guerrero-Cruz, Dolores
Title: Peacemakers
Date: November 4-7, 1985
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 27 3/4" x 22 11/16"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: This print depicts the irony of three Chicano children
growing up in an Anglo society, and losing their heritage. It also
speaks to the idea that children can be taught to save the world from
nuclear war with their peacemaking friends.

83. Artist:
Hernández, Ester
Title: The Cosmic Cruise
Date: January 15-18, 1990
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 38" x 26"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "The theme is our interconnectedness with each other
and The Universe. The car represents movement in space and time is
represented by the images of four women: La Virgen de Guadalupe (the
driver), the Mexican Indian grandmother, the modern Chicano mother
and child. The Aztec moon goddess Coyolxauqui signifies our link with
the past. The print is part of my ongoing tribute to La Mujer Chicana."

86. Artist:
Lane, Leonie
Title: Vulcán de Pacaya
Date: March 6-10, 1989
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 37 1/2" x 25"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "This print is based on my New Years's Eve 1988-89
spent with 14 people on top of Vulcán de Pacaya just south
of Guatemala City, Guatemala. The combination of the active volcano,
fireworks, campfire, and fireflies is a potent mixture of heat, light,
and symbols. The volcano is a symbol for many things-- underlying
political, social, sexual, and emotional tensions exploding to the
surface. This night and this mountain serve as a stage for reflection
on events of the present and future. Fire is a catalyst for change,
ignition of passion, destruction of the old, commencement of the new."
