Define your personal universe-Has it (your personal universe point of view) changed since the development of this project-
Personal Universal, for me, refers to the fact that we experience universal truths through an entirely personal means.  My work often asks universal questions and encourages the viewer to consider the universal human experience through the lens of cultural context.  That which is universal - justice, love, life, and death – is experienced as personal by people all over the world.  This particular project has not changed my point of view but has deepened it.  Exhibiting my work with these women artists whose work is thoughtful, socially responsible, challenging, and beautiful allows my work to exist in a dynamic conversation on the issues we are all addressing.
