Finch Lane Show

I've lived in Salt Lake City for seven years now and grown to love it. Salt Lake is a mid-sized city with big dreams. The population is increasingly diverse as are the opportunities. I live on the west side but often find myself working or communicating with people on the east side. Most of us west siders do. Living where I do has made me really consider what the location of a home means. Does it define a person or a family? In many ways it does. It is common for a person to ask me if I feel safe when I tell them where I live. Yes, I do. It's just as safe on my street as it is on yours.
This show, "Salt Lake City: Chain Link and Welcome Mats," is, in a sense, a portrait of Salt Lake City. Though there are no people in the art work, the work is all about people. Salt Lake people.
