Home Is Where the Heart Is is a three-person exhibition that explores the multifaceted
concept of “home” across three scales: the personal, the planetary, and the cosmic, featuring works by Amy Cheng, Erik Schoonebeek, and Zac Skinner.

Erik Schoonebeek’s gouache paintings on book covers focus on our intimate
relationships with our dwellings. Schoonebeek’s physical structures emanate emotions, both positive and negative and explore how our homes reflect our values, social standing, and even our anxieties.

Zac Skinner’s drawings, prints, and paintings shift the focus to the Earth, mankind’s
shared home. Skinner highlights the environmental challenges we face with resource depletion, pollution, and climate change. The artworks consider our interdependence with the biosphere and the necessity of hope, ingenuity, and awareness.

With a macro/micro approach Amy Cheng’s gouache, acrylic and oil paintings venture
into the vastness of the cosmos while referencing the sub-atomic world of quantum physics.
Cheng invents a visual vocabulary to poetically, and metaphorically manifest the deepest mysteries present in the universe.

By presenting these three levels of “home,” the exhibition broadens our perspective on
where we live to foster a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance that sustains us all.
