Where I Come From/Where I Am

This story begins in the Midwest, among the everyman. A story lived by
many. Where you go to work so that you can go up north and to the lake.
This story is set in the cities of West Michigan, and on the banks of the worlds
longest freshwater cost line. A place that is remembered through the souvenirs
collected along the way. Where the color of the water, and the smell of the air,
can release a flood of memories for those indoctrinated by this story. A place
where I spent 26 years, living the story, working, going up north, and going to the
lake. I tell this story through my objects, but it is not my story alone. It is the story
of Michigan; the story of everyman. Traveling 1,700 miles to Missoula, Montana,
has highlighted the story of everyman, and allowed me to examine my part of
that story.
