In This Is Home, Larson, who was living in the east-side at the time, images places of shelter and of her own neighborhood. Borrowing a large format camera to shoot 4x5" black and white negatives, Larson imaged an abandoned mill with remnants from what once was a make-shift shelter. Shot on found expired color film rolls, Larson documented a walk through her neighborhood which consists of abandoned houses with broken windows, graffiti, her own rental home, and the juxtaposition of a newly built house next to one that is rotted and uninhabitable.

From the Artist: Through growing up without much money I learned early on tricks to live frugally. Most of the clothes I wore were gifted to me from family friends, and I had free lunches at school. Going to Herron School of Art + Design, had grown harder each year due to rent and general inflation, leading to me working more and more each year. I am grateful for the privilege and opportunity to pursue higher education, and hopefully a degree will allow me to have a more sustainable living situation one day.

With this project I want to ask viewers; "Where are you going to sleep tonight? Where did you wake up this morning?"

For some, having a house and a bed is not a worry. For others, there is fear of losing their home or those already homeless, worry of finding shelter day-by-day.

Every year I try to donate old clothes, buy toiletries and non-perishable foods to donate to local homeless shelters. I understand the struggle and the worrying of these "simple" things, so whenever I have enough financial security to help, I do.

With this opportunity to showcase my work at Hoy Polloy Gallery, I wanted to bring up housing issues in our society; to use this art show as a platform to advocate for privilege awareness, and to inspire the Indianapolis community to give back.

Showcased at Hoy Polloy Gallery May 2023 and featured in Genesis Magazine 2024 edition.

*I intend to donate a portion of sale of my prints to homeless shelters.
