In the sculpture Homesteads, 1878-1998, Stephanie uses textiles to create a generational archive of owned family homes. The structure alludes to the domestic, a white picket fence or fabric invoking a laundry line; both tools that signal home while defining the outline of one's property. With the familial archive side by side her own photography, Stephanie attempts to understand how history determines who continues to have access to land.
