This is a small selection of images from a solo show at the Common Gallery in Presque Isle, Maine in June of 2024. This was a multi-year, semi-collaborative project that involved finding participants, discussing ideas of belonging and body sovereignty with them and then making a portrait that blended those ideas. The exhibit included audience participation in the form of writing statements of belonging on index cards that were posted on the gallery walls.
