Where are you from? No, where are you really from?
Growing up moving around a lot, always with a ‘foreign’ accent wherever I resided, taught me early that identity can be a moving target.
My good friend, artist Connie Lane, often addresses identity in her sculptures and installations. Her sense of where she’s from is complex. A native of Hong Kong, she lives in Long Beach with her Angelino husband.
There’s still time to see her newest thought-provoking work at:

2018 update: Here’s her April 2018 show — the first post about Bravura — and the pre-show ‘getting ready’ post — and the performance for that show.
Also, here’s an installation she did to honor lives lost to COVID-19.
