Garnered is an illustrated memoir consisting of ten chapters, each dedicated to a house Madd has lived in. This project was a way to explore the concept of belonging somewhere, and to understand that the places people live are more than pieces of trivia. Through a combination of collage, illustration, and prose vignettes, Garnered demonstrates that we are a collection of parts and places, and that we are not defined entirely by our point of origin. We are made of our homes, as they are made of us, and this will always be true.
