What is home?
I have recently uprooted and after being in Toronto for five years, I am now back in Vancouver. Having bounced around so many times in the past 13 years, I've been thinking about home and what that means. So I think it's time for another Narrative Project piece. What does home mean to you? What does it look like, sound like, feel like? What does it mean to be without a home? And if you have several places to call home, are you always partly grieving for one place and people far away, or are you enjoying the best of both? What do you love, miss, hate, wish for?
YOUR TASK SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT:
If you have problems posting to the this blog or would like to send images, please send by email to: bynder@gmail.com
The finished piece is going to be a collection/assembly/collage of words, letters, images etc, on layers of transparent material to allow the stories to mingle and build on each other, like multiple voices heard at once to reflect multiple perspectives.
I will be submitting this piece for Diane Farris Gallery's show "Twitter/Art + Social Media" (http://www.dianefarrisgallery.com/blog )
If accepted, it will be displayed in April of 2010 so I hope you'll take part and help me build a piece that Feels like Home!
THE FINE PRINT: Please note that I will not be using anyone's images directly (eg. photos, sketches), although I may use them as starting points and 'sparks' for my own images in the final piece(s). I may use your text directly though, so please be aware that by participating you are waiving your copyright to anything you submit.

The Narrative Project is collaborative art. It is a collection of stories, experiences and perspectives that sometimes follow linear paths and sometimes intertwine, with one defined starting point and many endings. Your thoughts and images will help shape the final piece(s) and I do hope you'll join in!
