Like a window into distant lands that inhabit our emotions and imaginations, What We Carry is a view into human nature about what we cherish, collect, remember and carry. These works are to inspire introspection individually and collectively. I ask others to consider how they might be carrying with them an entire room of a life or a singular chapter, or a traumatic experience of weight? How does what we carry define our ways of being? What we carry is an attempt to begin discussions about this mystery behind our human nature. These works allow one to see the unseen like an act of personal intention. And to encourage collective and individual compassion and understanding in our messy lives.
Watch and hear me speak about this at Pecha Kucha in Waterville!
