I'm trying to reconnect with the kinds of creative expression from which we as a culture have been alienated, while recognizing and acknowledging and occasionally reckoning with the past of those things.

I'm trying to reconnect with generations of people who came before me while recognizing and acknowledging and reckoning with the reality of who those people were.

I am, for better and worse, thoroughly American. My heritage is full of people running away from one difficult situations, cutting ties with their past and trying to build a better future.

Just over and over again for generations.

This leaves me with a weird patchwork of a history full of gaps and guesses.

How appropriate for someone thoroughly American.
