Manifestation of Self Within Place

About the Book

This auto-ethnographic work examines interdisciplinarity in the written and visual sense. It is a story of migration to a new place and the acceptance of self in that place. It is about the essence of self manifested in the visual landscape and taking pride in the authentic voice that emerges through paintings, photography, and the written story. This work has been about acceptance of self and the celebration of a place-based artistic practice that reflects an understanding of community, individuality, ownership, and pride.
