Studio 2: Home Diptychs

For some people, defining "home" is an easy task. Here at Woodstock, however, it is often quite difficult. The Studio 2 students were asked to reflect on the concept of home. Here are some of their definitions:

-Happiness, where everyone keeps me happy and knows me. Where my stomach is happier.

-Where you can totally relax and be comfortable.

-No matter where I go, I can always turn back and knock on its door, which will always be open for me.

-Home is temporary. Any new place that becomes close to one's heart becomes "home."

-Wherever you sleep.

After reflecting on their literal or conceptual home, the students created diptychs (a pair of images that always function together).

Sizzling eggs on a frying pan

Sizzling fly on an electric flying catcher

Sounds that remind me of my home

"My mom's fried egg"

or scrambles...

"Get rid of flies"

and mosquitos...
