Über das Buch
When I left the South and moved to the North, I learned that much of what I regarded as normal was not recognized as such in my new home. Case in point, banana and mayonnaise sandwiches. When I mentioned the combination, those Yankee heathens turned up their noses and made rude noises. Banana sandwiches were a staple of my childhood diet. I thought they were delicious, still do. To make a good one, you need soft white bread, a banana that has been around long enough to obtain a fair number of speckles on its skin, and creamy, dreamy Duke’s mayonnaise. You may or may not add peanut butter; you won’t be faulted either way so long as you realize that the real magic lies in the marriage of the banana and the mayonnaise. This kind of culture clash experience made me feel Southern in a way that I never had before. Does a fish feel like a fish until it’s out of water?

Corn Wagon Thunder
Santa Fe, NM

Born in rural North Carolina in 1974, artist Corn Wagon Thunder credits her Southern upbringing as influential to her approach to art making. As is so often the case, she had to leave her home before she could see its influence. At age eighteen, Corn high-tailed it to Boston, Massachusetts, where she picked up a little bit of Yankee sass and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in conjunction with Tufts University. After enduring a few too many New England winters, Corn returned to her North Carolina home with her tail tucked. It was this return that fueled her investigation into what it means to be from the South. During this time, Corn studied at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina—also known as Shangri-La. Doors opened for Corn during this time, and she decided to walk through one, which led her to the Southwest in pursuit of a Master of Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico.
