Narratives are an important and necessary part of individual and social... More > constructs. They explain things that are out of human control or beyond understanding. They act as a way to grapple with the world of non-stop technological development, global climate change, hyperactive news media, and the omnipresent consumer culture. Whether internal or external, narratives define how we see ourselves and others.

This series of drawings focuses on narrative as a means of controlling one’s understanding of self, others, and events that may or may not be based in reality. It focuses on multiple facets of individual identity, both public and private. The arc of the narrative follows a time traveler as she attempts to stop a violent conflict after it has already occurred. While it has specific personal meaning and a dry sense of humor from my point of view, I invite participants to invent their own explanations of what the narrative means. < Less
