Kin (begin portfolio review entry)
Celia Talbot Tobin
Cousins -
Kin is an ongoing personal project that explores notions of home and family, both given and chosen. It seeks to peel away the outer layers of familiarity in order to reach a deeper understanding of what it is that connects us to a people and place.
Started several years ago while working through a time of intense transition in my hometown in upstate New York, it’s evolved into a way of grounding amidst the flux and considering concepts of belonging.
