On Going Home

Sept 2 – Oct 14, 2017
Charlie James Gallery

On Going Home is a study of the intertwined relationship of origin, memory and place. In the essay by the same name, Joan Didion reflects on “the emotional charges between me and the place that I came from.” These places are imbedded in our psyche, memory, and identity. They shape our ideals and perceptions; they form the eyes that see the world around us. Our relationship with the very concept of this place is multi-layered: constructed over time through the lens of experience and circumstance.

On Going Home explores our relationship with the truths of our past, and the ways we process, interpret and present these truths in the context of our current day self. The works draw from the artists’ personal and multicultural heritage; and the unique, tertiary culture born from experience in these multiple worlds.
