Alison Veit: Giant’s Child
@ Beautiful
1801 S Peoria St, Chicago IL
Opening Saturday, February 27th, from 7PM - 10m
On view through Saturday, March 26th
When I was a child I believed my life was a massive novel in which I was the main character. I believed the book sat in the hands of a giant who lived in a pastoral town much like The Shire from “The Hobbit, There and Back Again.” The giant read aloud from the book every night to his child. My imagined view of myself as a storybook character comforted me in times of stress and anxiety. It made me feel as though someone bigger was out there hearing my story, sharing my existence.
