Homecoming

Her first solo show since moving back to her home state of Connecticut, Homecoming is Katie Southworth’s celebration of so much more than a move.

Themes of independence, openness, transition, softness and the sublime have made their way from Katie’s newfound lifestyle into this new series, in which she explores what it means to return to the self in a way that yields true holistic health and wellness.

Inspired by the self-love of early rising, habitual living, natural dopamine, peaceful solitude, new connections and vulnerability, Homecoming captures what it feels like to be both in power and at peace with unprecedented independence.
