Published on the occasion of nieves' first solo exhibition with the gallery 'Notes From The Laughing Barrel', this booklet is a collection of micro-essays that contextualize the themes and stories in the paintings through reflections and insights into the artist own inner monologues. 

"i often wonder how many of the emotions

that i sense in my body and conscious mind on a daily basis

are not even my own but belong to the mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, and cousins 

i am born from.

i wonder if perhaps my body is a home for what they could not express, 

a channel for the emotional release they were denied

i wonder how much of what i express now as an adult is a regurgitation

of what they were forced to swallow generation after generation." – Excerpt from booklet ‘Notes From The Laughing Barrel’
