Beyond the Block Ep.5 - 2825 Thomas Tolbert Ave

Description

Sharon Horton, my mother, is the last participant. She will speak about the house we have been living in for the past ten years.

Growing up in an area where poverty and crime rates dominate social media narratives lessens the great experiences, people, and companies I've grown to adore as a young girl. I was able to bend time by presenting memories that I had repainted using my individual vision. I discovered that place is connected to memory through each interview that is associated to a different paintings I produced. Which gives my audience a chance to consider their current location and illustrate the possible effects that location might have on a person. In the end, our experiences are all similar because we all work hard to make ends meet by using what we have. I want my audience to walk away knowing that there is beauty in where I come from.
