The quilted squares unravel a little more from row to row, pane to pane. They ultimately reveal a photograph of my great-great-grandparents. Through sentimental, though finite, materials, I wished to suggest the everlasting properties of home and its comforts.
Curled, for the warmth it
always promised to yield, in the quilt
You made the summer,
or maybe the winter,
after he went cold the last time, the fall before.
I wonder how—with the arthritis in your fingers—
You took up the task at once, a fell swoop
after much preparation for the pain the delicate
but exhaustive work was sure to beget.
It took you countless times to pierce the needle through the gentle, careworn fabric
You tried to avoid so long
for the weight of all the memories dragging down the innate density
of all his t-shirts and housecoats to be
knit together as one
new thing out of copious old.
Silently you mended what needed mending
And you cried, It is finished! when the new thing
had just begun.
I wrap the great blanket you made
around myself now to keep me—
when the cold is coming
to keep me—
from freezing
at last.
Branches, twine, fabric, photographs, raku-fired clay.
The piano I inherited from my grandma. My mom and her sisters used to practice on thing, and my grandma herself was a skilled pianist. I like that you can see the wear on the keys.
I inherited my mother's and grandfather's feet: wide, flat, turned in, and nearly impossible to shop for.

talking with deborah yesterday about how we really couldn't see any of the family likenesses our friends are always claiming for us - and then I took this picture of her and it leaps out at me - she looks exactly like young photographs I have of my mum
De oefenterreinen van de Waverse voetbalploeg SK Wavria met een gesponsord lingeriemodel en op de achtergrond de 16de-eeuwse Schranshoeve (hoogste stuk) met 19-de eeuwse bakstenen aanbouw (lagere delen vanvoor), de schuur (enkele jaren geleden volledig gerestaureerd en daardoor sterk "afgeborsteld" en rechts voor de schuur het 18de-eeuwse koetshuis). Fotomodel ken ik (nog) niet.
