I, etcetera was made in Los Angeles while becoming an American Citizen. After 10 years of living outside of my original country of birth including 5 years of dealing with the immigration services, I was left in an awkward inbetween space of not knowing how to identify myself politically or culturally. Embarrassed often by the vagueness of my understanding to almost everything, I took this ‘lack’ and disorientation as inspiration for making images.
