Dunning, John Kathy and Katya Harris Personal statement: "Families can manifest in myriad forms. But what ties any family group together is the consistent acceptance of each other’s hearts. With this acceptance, is a desire for each other’s happiness and safety. Though we realize that we cannot fix each other’s problems, adversity gives us the gift of forgiveness. This is how families build safe spaces in which to care for one another. While letting you be your truest self – be it sparkly, broody, or a little strange - families also raise you up after stumbles. It is in this family harbor that our solitary self is aware that it belongs, unconditionally, and often in spite of itself, to something larger." Katya Harris is a graduate student in the Master of Fine Arts program in Painting.
