Measured Print

This work is an assemblage of recipe cards, hand-drawn fruit motifs on tracing paper, measuring tape, butcher paper, and sewing patterns that came from a woman named May Nelson. May was in her 80s when I met her; she was my next door neighbor when I was a child and then, when she moved into an assisted living facility, our family bought her home. She had lived through the depression and was an unrepentant pack rat- she saved everything! Somehow, after growing up, moving around the country and having my own apartment, then family, I found that I had in my possession many of May's "un-partables". Now I was unable to dispose of her treasured scraps of colored cellophane, old wrapping paper, her heavy box of recipes, or her envelopes full of fruit-themed embroidery motifs. These things needed to come together to embody May, but also, to be a sort of archaeology, at lease a topsoil, of a woman from her era. At best, I hope it can be a meditation on what we leave behind.
