Land of Plenty is also what Riccio calls her studio, body of work, and way of life. Riccio is an organizing member of The Palace Collective and Leftover Sewing.

As a visitor in this desert I acknowledge and appreciate the ancestral Puebloans who have lived in communion with this land before us. Here in Albuquerque the Pueblo people of Sandia and Isleta have been stewards to this colorful earth, towering mountains and big sky for thousands of years and continue living here today. We reside on stolen lands; all of the work in this exhibition was made on occupied Southern Tiwa territory in the year 2020. – Jackie Riccio
