I’M COMIN’ HOME
What is home and how do you get there.? Is it a place you want to be, or a place you do not want to be? Why did you leave?
Is it where you were born or where you live?
The title is fluid and a proclamation. It is a verb defined by a place. It can be a state of mind or a place. It is abstract as a feather and as peaceful as a cloud.
I am thinking road trip, excitement or skepticism. Desire or duty. Wedding, birthday or death. Family, friends or no one. Things have changed a lot or not at all. Greetings or can’t make it. Gardens, dirt and alcohol.
Still-lives, landscapes, portraits. Cornbread, rail-yards, hangin’out. Old photographs and letters. I-pads and Netflix. Bugs and heat. Cats and dogs. Books and birds. Records and headphones. Porches and cars and so much more that you are going to show us. -Celina Lunsford
