Ode to Home, part 1 program

Ode to Home, part 1 program

In her project "Ode to Home" - part of PPL's Adaptive Practices series in Spring 2020 - Davis presented two April workshops. This recording is of the first workshop which took place on Zoom, the second was not recorded by request of the artist. Davis' artististic statement noted, "Sometimes one’s relationship to home can be complicated. An Ode to Home explores my relationship to my hometown and how my family's history is reflected in its natural and constructed landscapes. This work is a collection of 42 old and new photographs where narrative emerges through imagery, juxtaposition, and sequencing. If I develop a creative block, one of my strategies for moving forward is to revisit another project. An Ode to Home emerged out of a similar space, while reconsidering the in-between spaces that connect thoughts, projects, and relationships. In this two-part workshop, we will discuss the background and creative process of An Ode to Home and create a space to construct and share your own ode. What is your relationship to home and what can be gleaned from your existing collection of images to to communicate that story? How can you use the space between one image and the next as a tool to create meaning?"
