My mother, 7-months pregnant with me, and my father
Not sure what I'm going to do with these watercolors, but when I've finished a bunch, I'd like to add words somehow...
Meanwhile, I am liking spending time with the images, as I copy them. Details come to the fore, like the brooch my mother is wearing. I think it's a piece by Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, which my sister has now.
Where did it come from in the first place, I wonder. Maybe my father will know--my father remembers all sorts of details.
Otherwise, there is no one left to ask.

Your parents look so hip and sophisticated-- it looks like the life we would all want.
ReplyDeleteTheir lives look even cooler as a painting. Not the geeky, awkward, images of most of our (un-hip) parents from the 1960's.
Excellent job!
We really are of an age, you and I.
ReplyDeleteHi Francesca.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw the art film la jetee and it struck me that a film using images and narration would play perfectly to your skills.

I love your artwork and your photos.
PS and your words are brilliant too.
ReplyDeleteBINK: I happen to know you have some *extremely* cool photos of your mom in the 1960s, looking JUST like an ad!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, it's true--anyone's life looks cooler as a painting.
ZHOEN: Yup.
BOOK: Wow, thanks--that's a neat idea!
I am going to let the images pile up and see what I feel moved to do.
