The cultural landscape of our country is complicated and constantly changing. We live in and negotiate a complex society of multifarious ethnic, economic, racial, and social perspectives. As the child of a middle-class biracial activist family, growing up in the fifties and sixties, I was continuously exposed to an extraordinary world of conflicting realities. This series of some 30 works chronicles my childhood and adolescent inner dialogue as I began to articulate and define my identity.
