Welcome back to a late but still here post. Ill be looking at quotes that Carrie Mae Weems says. And responding to it.

In most every black person's life today, home is where you find it, just where you find it. To me this suggests open possibility that home can be for me Portland, Oregon, to the same extent that it can be New York or Ghana or Maui or Senegal. It doesn't; matter.
I Agree with her saying. Home is where you find it or where you move. I moved from NY to NJ and NJ is my home now. Do I miss my old place. Sometimes but that goes with nostalgia. Especially if the place you live in now is better than your previous home. She has another quote later on in the text that continues with her and moving.

ideas that ground the work emerge from my critical reflections about stability and from ideas of wholeness.
I can see this in Other peoples work. Not mine. Seems like there is an endless supply of artist who do this either from stability or lack there of. Others just do what they do with or without a reason. A wholeness in nothingness almost seems to contradict but you can also kinda feel it in a sense. Almost like your in a pool and the water surrounds you.
