Ketchikan artist Cameo McRoberts’ original intention was to create an exhibition archiving the story of her mother’s longest “work in progress”; her magical, ever-evolving home in Port Protection. But in the process, Cameo realized that her mother’s longest-running, most complex “work in progress”, isn’t the house at all.

It’s Cameo herself.
