GRAPHIC DESIGN
They are a part of me; their blood runs through my veins, yet the memories are the thing that keeps me tied to them.
I think back to my great-grandmother, to her doilies that decorate my childhood. While I never met Mamaw Wilma, her craft always helped me feel a connection to her. The doilies provide me with a window into who she was, only I realized this delicate labor of love creates a selective, softened image.
Maybe that filter applies to the rest of my family, as well. Maybe the nostalgia that shapes the images in my head are as real as flesh and bone.
