Through memory, metaphor, and imagined destinies, “There’s No Other Like Your
Mother” seeks to explore the complexities and constructs of female identity and the
maternal subject as I reconceive my fertile state of being. The sudden death of my

of this series which contemplates my own shifting identity, once firmly rooted in the
domestic tradition but now seemingly unmoored.
Brandy Trigueros is a Los Angeles based artist who uses the narrative space of

Institute of the Arts.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in venues such as the
Griffin Museum of Photography, Foto Forum Santa Fe, Candela Gallery, Museo de
la Naturaleza de Cantabria, Center for Photographic Art, Building Bridges Art
Exchange, Center for Fine Art Photography, Berlin Foto Biennale, Los Angeles
Center of Photography, and New Orleans Photo...
