Ancient Pocket (since 2009): A cross-disciplinary practice in visual art, ritual and environmental storytelling.
Embedded Files
Vanessa Ehecatl Santos (born 1978, raised in Los Angeles) is an interdisciplinary artist, healer and researcher whose biocultural practice bridges visual, ceramic, literary, fiber and healing arts with land-based inquiry and recovered ancestral ecological thought. Their work draws from Indigenous knowledge systems as a Kizh, Mexica, Hopi, Apache and Yaqui descendant with Spanish, Portuguese, West and South East African ancestry, as told thru the lense of disability and eco-justice. Their experimental forms are often grounded in anthro-ecological and relational fieldwork. Through their evolving project: Ancient Pocket they cultivate cross-disciplinary approaches to eternal care, material avant-garde storytelling and embodied environmental futurism. Their work challenges the fixation of social parameters set in place for Motherhood, Interdisciplinary Artists, Disability, Land Justice, Ecology, Farming and people of color with extra sensory perception. Santos is a multiple point contactee: Intergalactic meetings, travels, visitations, dream encounters and transmissions with these various teams of Inter-Dimensional Beings are the foundational frameworks for all Ancient Pocket projects.
Work History
Vanessa Ehecatl Santos has over 28 years of experience as an Interdisciplinary Artist, Eco-Arts Educator and Healing Arts Practitioner. Raised in Los Angeles, their work spans ceramics, painting, sound, time-based media, textile arts, writing, healing arts and eco-spiritual esoteric research rooted in approachable community care, land-based learning and accessible, experimental arts education.
They have collaborated and worked with with a wide range of organizations including Tierra del Sol Foundation, High Desert Test Sites (HDTS), Yucca Valley Material Lab (YVML), Joshua Tree Retreat Center, Nature School LA, HoliTOMoli Alternative Academy (Santa Fe), Kossuth County Conservation Board, Water’s Edge Nature Center, Dubuque Public Library, and SheSkates. Across both urban and rural settings; from Los Angeles to the Midwest; they have developed alternative art education programs for home-schooled children, an all ages pedagogy and facilitated public workshops uniting art, ecology, and care-based practices. In their former practices they could be found trancing with the Elementals as Grandma Candle, P. H. S. L. Community Services, Tres Mares and Omniscient Productions working previously as a cosmic divinity funnel and source wisdom channel in human form on Earth-Ship 'Gaia' spanning the years 1998-2009, accessing orogenic processes and Akashic Mysteries.
Currently through Ancient Pocket, Earthen Futures Studio, Terra Heaven Eco Arts and the Devic Organization of Elemental Science they cultivate a multi-disciplinary art practice that interlaces fine art foundations, metaphysical technologies, healing arts, elemental communion and ancestral memory.
As an Ecology Art Educator and Inter-Disciplinary Art Education Vendor with Sky Mountain Charter School, their work exists as a living system of radical care and earth-based futurism for youth and old alike. Their research of material exploration, visions grounded in ancient teachings and the spiritual technologies of land and clay works facilitate interdependent kinship.
