"Ancestral Objects: Holders of Memory, Space and Time" (UT Downtown Gallery)

"Faith In the familiar" is a survival technique I adopted while homeless in America. By clinging to past memories, experiences and more tangible items like songs and pictures, I was able to sustain my spirit and maintain my mind from the righteous, insensitive and inhumane way I was treated throughout the motherland. Artists Donte Hayes and Kevin Kao do something similar but in a more existential way in the current exhibit currently on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. They use as materials the very clay from which man rose from to express the legacy of their lives as individuals. I on the other hand used specific family memories, anecdotes about friends and former lovers as well as songs and pictures I acquired during my travels as a homeless man to sustain my faith that one day I will be "home" like everyone else.
