MAEP - Trip Blog Intro

Thank you for following the QR Code from my Revealing Threads exhibition to read more about my journey through Sápmi.

HOW TO ENGAGE THESE BLOG POSTS:

1) This is an edited selection of posts that I originally posted to PATREON while I was traveling in October 2022. I made a total of 20 posts during/about my trip (you can become a PATREON Patron to read all of them in full.)

2) I have selected 8 posts to share with you here - those that contain deep insight or meaningful reflections on place and the journey. I have edited them a little bit for this purpose, too.

3) Blogs list the most recent post first, so: scroll down to trip01 to start at the beginning if you want to read chronologically.

4) The illustration above shows you where each entry was written along my journey.

By sharing these posts, I hope that you will begin to understand the many layers of work that goes into the physical work you see in the gallery. As an artist, I am driven by a personal need to make sense of my experience in the world and learning to see the broader tapestry of my family and lineage helps me to see how I fit into humanity. Thank you for taking the time to read and engage my reflections.
