An artist explores her childhood and family dynamics, as the title suggests. One of the many intriguing artistic choices Margaret Kimball makes is to depict the interiors of the spaces she is recalling without showing any people in them.

Her family situation may be unique, but her winding journey to uncover what was really going on in her childhood feels universal.
