GRANDMOTHER
In Gratitude
The grandmother is made out of shell pieces and bones and garlic skin…….all white, like my grandmother’s favorite color, and like her beautiful pin-curled hair. The grandmother mask is in a crafted turtle shell that acts as a cradle for me to hold her.
“I pick up seed pods and leaves in the paved world of parking lots and sidewalks, at the edges of things, where the sun has dried them and preserved them for me.”
