Spaces Called Home
The concept of home has been on my mind and in my artwork for a many years. It's multidimensional, incorporating nourishment, dis/comfort, possessions, memories, relationships, sleep, education, health, and sensory experiences that inform our perception of what does become a home. Shortly after the difficult period of my mother’s passing, coupled with my daily walks through SF and "shelter settlements," this series of paintings, drawings, and textile pieces developed around this concept of the notion of internal-external, emotional-physical, place/space. I have recorded stories from residences, memories, states of mindspace, and reminiscences, in honor of domestic nourishment and the nurturing we expect in a space called home, especially at a time when the nature of home involves insecurity and instability for many, and as an educator, I am reminded of this daily.
