I never met my grandfather, but he was a tailor and I am the only one of later generations to work with my hands and fabrics. By placing his letters written as a young soldier during WW1 “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. We all are in conversation with our past and have lineage stories that run through our lives, whether we are actively conscious of it or not. Creating this has also generated the question of whether this is a way to “heal backwards in time?” Mixed media 11" x 11" framed (can remove frame - $295) $350
