We all have that one place that truly shapes us. A place we are so connected to that no matter what we can call it home. For me, that place is ‘the cottage’. When I was young, my grandpa made my cousins’ and I a time machine. We would play for hours in that time machine, flipping switches on old circuit boards and pushing buttons, pretending we were traveling the world through time. After finding my grandpa’s original blueprints for the time machine, I decided to write a graphic novel about it, but this time the time machine is real. This exhibition explores this place that made me who I am. The people and places that affected me the most and how memory is affected by the passing of time.
