Polish, Mendal Diana, 2013-2015
- Scope and content:
-
Queer Home is a photographic series of 18 color photographs measuring 8.5 x 10 by Mendal Diana Polish. Polish states Queer Home "is about charting an authentic hand-made path that foregrounds the intentional building of inter-generational queer family. The initial images depict my family of origin. The images then shift into moments with my chosen family. Additional themes influencing this exhibit are home, ritual, embodiment, selfdetermination, and celebration. As a new photographer, this series was an accident. I brought the camera 'home,' to learn how to use it, and didn't even realize at first that I was telling a story, as I captured important moments that held me through this past year and a half."
