“Often when she liked a picture, she found that she was liking some part of herself, some part of her
that was in accord with the picture.” — Jeanette Winterson

Something is Somewhere stands as a humble attempt to reclaim the fleeting threshold between perception and projection, observation and creativity; between the centered self and the universal. We intend to explore art’s long reach into the collective unconscious and touch a realm of liminality where experience and activity are shared in the metaphysical, nostalgic, and prosthetic. This investigation will focus on the
experience of environment depicted in various mediums including painting, photography, video, drawing, and sculpture. The diverse environments on display will bear little or no surface resemblance to one another. However, it is the experience connected to each respective environment - place and period - that is shared. The barely perceptible locus of connectivity present in the exhibition is loosely drawn from individual components: where we were raised, our race, traditions, culture, religion, values, gender and evenclass.

Something is Somewhere asserts through its’ existence that these innate categories are assigned and then further constructed. People and their backgrounds are understood by one another and can even morph or adapt in actuality or in fantasy. Humans are adaptable and the self is perceived as a fluid and relative, un-alone entity, always a somewhat
interdependent participant in a larger social, physical and cosmic scheme. Here lies the fusion of artist/viewer/human being: the minute psychical location where art, conquering boundary and body politic, continues to make order of life for those who create and those who appreciate creation –collectively. That is, in some form…of something…somewhere.
