“When I think of Home, I think of a place where there is Love overflowing…”
This is exactly what my home has always felt like to me. Raised in a unique atmosphere where I grew up with 90% of my neighborhood being my blood relatives – It was a very beautiful experience. One that has molded my life. When I think of home, I think of the love that’s been poured into me by my family. I dedicate this project: HOME to my family: the Whittiers, the Pattersons, and those that I’ve yet to discover in my maternal lineage. The humans that passed down the inheritance of love, the ones who first taught me how to love and be loved. This Project is a full-circle moment, as I will be bringing my family back into a space they once called home, their Church Home. Home is a mixed media project of past and present images paying homage to my loved ones.
