“In my life’s experiences I have observed an overall acceptance of traditional social roles, negating skeptical questioning of custom, imposed conventions or beliefs. It is my desire to communicate visually a moment to laugh at ourselves, to question our attitudes, to consider purpose and motives and to search out options, seeking a path that enriches life for the individual and the community.” Sandra Camomile
