Project Description

I never met my grandfather, but “re-“realized he was a tailor and I am the only one of later generations to work with my hands and fabrics. By placing his letters “in conversation” with my fabrics (fabric remnants, threads or fabrics/materials I’ve found or used) on this intimate scale, I hope to capture something about the connection of hands, hearts and DNA between us.  We all have lineage stories that run through our lives, whether we are awake to it or not.

Creating this has also generated the question of whether this is a way to “heal backwards in time?”
