Finding Home, Searching Self began as a journey of change, growth, and rebirth.
In 31 years, I moved 21 times and lived in five communities and eight Winnipeg neighborhoods. In 2011, after living in Winnipeg for 13 years, I purchased my first home. I feel like I found my place deep within downtown, drawn in by the Exchange District's historic buildings, active night-life, artistic hub, and energy.
Finding Home, took eight months to produce, the same number of months it took to purchase my true “home” and the number of different homes I have lived in, in Winnipeg.
This exhibition led me to discover what I truly wanted in a home. Each step transformed the artworks into something new, similar to my journey to discover a home. As 2011 ended, I found home for the first time, in my city, with my art.
