Über das Buch
I was never good about holding on to things. My mother would rescue my discarded toys from the trash and put them in the attic for safe keeping until I had children of my own that I could pass them on to. After she passed, I was tasked with going through all those things that she had thought important. I felt that I should hold on to those things. Maybe I thought that they would help me hold on to her. Finally, it came time for me to move again and I wanted to travel light. I spent two months looking at everything that was hers and that was mine, deciding what I would retain and more importantly how I would let go of what I did not want to retain. The things that made me sad were cast into the depths of the pond in front of my home. Some things were gifted to neighbors. Some things just went to the dump, denied another life. Some things I documented before I let them go or packed them up.

Corn Wagon Thunder
Santa Fe, NM

Born in rural North Carolina in 1974, artist Corn Wagon Thunder credits her Southern upbringing as influential to her approach to art making. As is so often the case, she had to leave her home before she could see its influence. At age eighteen, Corn high-tailed it to Boston, Massachusetts, where she picked up a little bit of Yankee sass and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in conjunction with Tufts University. After enduring a few too many New England winters, Corn returned to her North Carolina home with her tail tucked. It was this return that fueled her investigation into what it means to be from the South. During this time, Corn studied at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina—also known as Shangri-La. Doors opened for Corn during this time, and she decided to walk through one, which led her to the Southwest in pursuit of a Master of Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico.
