inside Eleven homes
The series Eleven is a collection of images documenting the interiors of
Frank Relle’s immediate families’ homes. Below is an excerpt from Frank’s
interview with writer Patrick Strange.
Relle’s current creations reveal bare portraits of interior spaces-often eye-level
accounts of everyday household objects and furniture. Like an inventory of life’s
generic commodities, many of the new images border on the mundane, centering
on such items like Norman Rockwell-screened throw pillows, dirty oven mitts, a
set of kitchen knives, a stack of paperback books, an over-sized plastic coin bank
shaped as a Budweiser bottle. At first, the images seem unremarkable, but as one
follows the pathways of Relle’s wandering eye, a pattern begins to emerge. These
photographs are not just a catalogue of materials, but attest to the fragile lives of
those who possess them and-in the regional context of southern Louisiana—they
suggest the nature of things that can so quickly be lost.
“After the scare of Hurricane Gustav, I started thinking, ‘Why the hell do we
keep doing this?’” Relle says. “And I realized that it was because of family.
My connection to New Orleans is more than habit, it’s because my family is here.
So, I started to ask myself what that really means—what it means to build a life that
can be washed away.”
Thus, Relle’s inquisitions have led him to the countertops and bedposts of his
childhood, and forced him to reconsider the worth of objects that have been
present from his earliest memories.
“It becomes a question of why the objects in our daily lives are important and
why they are glorified,” Relle says. “Is it because they are glorious before they are
destroyed, or is it only in the drama of loss that they are glorified? All I can do is
keep asking.”
Such questions may never be answered, but that doesn’t seem to keep Relle from
pondering the meaning of that which surrounds him. And as long as he continues
to investigate the objects and spaces that populate our lives-no matter the method
or the final result-those inanimate things will only continue to reveal secrets about
our inner selves.
Is it only in the drama of loss that the objects
of our daily lives are glorified?

Gemini Ink, San Antonio’s literary arts center, held its 3rd annual Writers Conference July 20-22nd, 2018 at the historic downtown El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel. The conference focus was “Writing the New Century” and explored the role writing plays in shaping the personal, social, and political consciousness of our 21st century.
Featured award-winning authors included Dr. Norma Cantú, Martín Espada, Anel Flores, Veronica Golos, Debra Monroe, and Pulitzer Prize winner Vijay Seshadri.
The 3-day conference was comprised of a full schedule of workshops, readings, panel presentations and a small press book fair, with free evening events and after-parties.
"Created in 1766, by the Central School of the Department of the Channel for its practical courses, it was in 1799, that the first plantations make of this space a garden. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the camellias, rose bush, hydrangea, magnolias and La Malmaison were introduced into the garden. The first rhododendrons were imported from the island of Java. The garden becomes the place of inspiration for writers as talented as Guy de Maupassant, Victor Hugo or Paul Féval. It was at the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century that it became a veritable garden of plants: plantations of shrubs, lawns and flower beds. Later, in May 1944, the site was classified. Today, the garden of plants of Avranches is a true invitation to the discovery of the botanical heritage with its superb masses in mosaiculture, and its remarkable trees, among which a Giant Sequoia, a Cephalotaxus of Ireland, a tree "despair of the monkeys ", a ginko biloba or a cedar of the Himalayas. The visitor will also be able to discover one of the great treasures of this garden: a unique and enchanting view on the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel."

"Avranches is a commune in the Manche department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. It is a subprefecture of the department. The inhabitants are called Avranchinais.
By the end of the Roman period, the settlement of Ingena, capital of the Abrincatui tribe, had taken the name of the tribe itself. This was the origin of the name Avranches. In 511 the town became the seat of a bishopric and subsequently of a major Romanesque cathedral dedicated to Saint Andrew which was dismantled during the French revolutionary period. As the region of Brittany emerged from the Roman region of Armorica, Avranchin was briefly held by Alan I, King of Brittany as part of the Kingdom of Brittany at the turn of the 10th century. The regions that later became the Duchies of Normandy and Brittany each experienced devastating Viking raids, with Brittany occupied by Vikings from 907 to 937. In 933 Avranches and its territory, the Avranchin, were ceded to the Normans.
In 1172 (September 27–28) a council was held at Avranches in response to the murder of Anglo-Norman Saint Thomas Becket. Henry II, King of England, after due penance done at Avranches on 21 May 1172, was absolved from the censures incurred by the assassination of the holy prelate and reached the Compromise of Avranches with the Church, swearing fidelity to Pope Alexander III in the person of the papal legate.
The town was damaged in both the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion .Álvaro Vaz de Almada was made 1st Count of Avranches by King Henry VI of England on August 8, 1444.
A literal description of the town in the 19th century is recorded in Guy de Maupassant's novel Notre Cœur, when the main character Mariolle meets his lover and sets up for Mont Saint-Michel:
The houses crowning the heights gave to the place from a distance the appearance of a fortification. Seen close at hand, it was an ancient and pretty Norman city, with small dwellings of regular and almost similar appearance built closely adjoining one another, giving an aspect of ancient pride and modern comfort, a feudal yet peasant-like air.
The liberation of Avranches during World War II was led by General George S. Patton and began on 31 July 1944.
A museum houses the collection of manuscripts of Mont Saint-Michel, deposited in the municipal archives during the French Revolution. It is one of the largest collections of medieval illuminated manuscripts in France, outside national and university libraries.
Formerly dominated by the cathedral, where Henry II did penance, an open grassed area La Plate-Forme overlooking the bay towards Mont Saint-Michel displays only a few remnants of the destroyed building.
The major church Notre Dame des Champs was constructed in Gothic Revival style in the 19th century to restore the religious life of the town after the destruction of the cathedral.
The botanical gardens were founded in the grounds of the former Franciscan convent in the late 18th century. The expansion and introduction of exotic species in the 19th century and the location of the gardens overlooking the bay made the gardens an important sight in the town."
