i do not belong because...
STATEMENT
I believe that where one feels they do or do not belong is one of the strongest indicators of self-image. The feeling of belonging is an internal compass, driven by the unconscious; a comfort/anxiety scale related to a specific place and time. No matter where we want to belong, this feeling always tells us our true self. Often, it is explained away by easily identifiable characteristics of sameness and otherness" that the others may not even perceive.
Forty page handmade book. Hand painted silkscreen on paper, museum board, linen, signed and editioned by the artists (2006). Collaboration with Kristin Anderson.
