For this exhibit we welcomed literal and figurative interpretations of “Where We Live,” which included musings on or responses to:

  • A physical residence (house, studio, city/state/country)
  • An environment (woods/forest, beach, desert, city, museum, library, gallery, studio, work)
  • Locations where we feel centered, creative, challenged, energized, relaxed, or positive
  • Where we live in our imaginations (memories of childhood, family, or friends; where we escape to in our fantasies)
