By Hand. Handkerchiefs
A box of handkerchiefs preserved and stored. Monogrammed with delicate corners of floral embellishment. Textile, handmade lace, and the yellowed adhesive of a photo album. Snapshots of a life and the silent and frenetic display of 16 mm video, with a glimpse into Christmas day, the family vacation, a new car, a woman descending a ladder in a swim suit. Although not my kin, a kinship in the familiarity of each image. Reorganized, reexamined in a contemporary light and re-envisioned with handmade care and consideration.
