Life-itself-1

Life Itself, 2008

Once upon a year, I received a precious package from Germany in the mail from an unknown person, writing me that she had seen my work at a fair and was so moved by it that she wanted to send me these three pieces of a childs shirt. The linen used was from a Hungarian shepherd’s shirt (handspun/hand woven linen) from the 19th century. It was so important for me to honor the history that was placed in my care.
