Window

This piece is used as a way to convey my feelings about going home, as well as an experiment in craft. Recently, I have been called home multiple times for family events, and every time, I wish I was in Cincinnati. I am happy to go home, but I feel such an urge to stay here, that many times I turn a blind eye to the drive until the day of. The reality is though, that is my home. It will always be there. I can look away as much as i want, but it will always call me back.

The woven curtains block the window from being seen. The physical blocking of vision is supported by the images of me covering my eyes being woven together. Looking through the window into my backyard, I have a feeling of nostalgia and frustration. The bright and welcoming scene may seem idyllic to most, but it's a hard sight for me.

Technical completion was important to me in this project as well, as its something i havent been concerned with in the past. Doing things to completion is different from completing things. With this project I focused on taking my time and making the seams/ connections look professional and clean, and not just “done.”
