You Can’t Make Homes Out of Human Beings
HOMME Gallery
I was one of the artists in Audra Lee’s exhibition at HOMME Gallery. It began with Lee’s personal reckoning with longing: how it can offer hope and also keep us from the present. The artists explored the desire for love, safety, connection, and belonging through sculpture, painting, collage, photography, and poetry. I’ve gathered the event details and photographs here.

Artist note
When Audra invited me to take part in the exhibition she was curating, I said yes. As we talked through the theme, I kept coming back to my parents, both of whom have passed away. When each of them died, I felt that parts of me left with them.
Before home becomes a physical place, our parents can be our first sense of home. That idea stayed with me as I made the work for this exhibition, and it led me to create some of the most personal pieces of my life.
