Magdalena, 2018, is a ceramic installation work featuring an inherited Lladro figure Hesse has known for the entirety of her life. The object becomes the site for the shared and conflicting working class identities of her maternal and paternal Grandmothers, one whom she inherited the object from and the other whom the work is named for. Half of the figurine is camouflaged by the very land she resides upon, reflecting these women’s sometimes inflicted and often chosen role during their lifetimes of fading into the background.
