About the Contributors

Erika Wanenmacher

Born in the mid-1950s in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, Erika attended Kansas City Art Institute and the Feminist Studio Workshop in Los Angeles before settling in Santa Fe, New Mexico (whose landscape she had dreamed), where she has lived and worked for over 40 years. Her work has been shown and collected internationally.

“I am an unrepentant maker of things. I believe objects that are made with intent carry resonance that can shift energy, power, and beliefs. Clear intent focused by will and imagination are the components of a spell. I make spells in the form of objects.”

Opened on Halloween 2010, the Ditch Witch store reincarnated an exhibition by the same name, which centered on the artist’s experience collecting treasures along the ditch bank. Paired with her exhibition at SITE SANTA FE, this pop-up offers t-shirts, stickers, found glass vessels, candles, incense, charcoals, incense burners, and scrying bowls.

About 4Kinship

In August 2023, 4KINSHIP launched 4KINSHIP Indigenous Futures Fund, revolutionizing how the arts and culture performance space can embody reciprocity and amplify its support of emerging Indigenous artists.
