Stacey Tyrel, Untitled from the series Back Home 2003


"Back Home" is a concept that brings to mind either an allegiance or a struggle. Though a part of me is rooted in its soil and spoken through its ritual, my family images of home do not feel whole. There will always be a lingering sense of mystery veiled by my lack of first hand knowledge. In this body of work, I have photographed the space within a space, thereby enabling me to form my own narratives and create new details. "Back Home" then becomes a familiar environment in which I am able to blend and explore.
