SELF: EXPLORATION OF SELF
Artwork, like identity, is ever evolving. For the nine artists featured in SELF: Explorations of Identity, making art is a way to uncover and sort through personal identities, experiences, and values. Their uniquely personal works of art become vessels to explore our own complicated and contradictory aspects of life and self. The personal becomes the universal.
