Questions around identity, familiar relations, and cultural, religious or political inheritance inform the work we do throughout our lives. Yet it is often in graduate school, behind the closed doors of studios, unwatched, where we first focus our attentions on these influences, examine their importance, and construct our response. Uncanny installations of domestic environments, family traditions re-imagined, emblems of childhood stories, and symbols of a future filled with health and reconciliation are offered to the viewer in these exhibitions. The richly imagined worlds we enter offer unfolding dramas of lives just now being fully and independently lived. Despite separate presentations of these works in three different venues, threads of connection exist among them.
