Spaces Called Home
The concept of home has been on my mind and in my artwork for a few years. The concept is multidimensional, incorporating place, food, dis/comfort, possessions, memories, relationships, and sensory experiences that inform our own perception of what does become home. Shortly after the difficult period of my mother’s passing, coupled with my daily walking through SF and "homeless camps," this series of ten paintings, ten drawings, and a large textile piece, developed around this concept of home and the notion of internal/external, abstract/physical, space. I have recorded stories from my residences, memories, states of mind-space, and reminiscing in search or in honor of the "mothers' " nourishment and nurturing we expect to be called home, at a time when the nature of home involves insecurity and instability, for many.
