Contemplating both sides is something I brought with me from my childhood. The first drawings I can remember were those copying symmetry on window curtains. The ‘twos’ came from a yearning to venture out and experience the ‘other families’. This was what led me, in my student years, to study abroad.

Living in another country pushed me towards a deeper mindset of comparison. So the work was composed of two parts. I used imagery from Italian history alongside or on top of those of American Folk Art.
