Piece of the action

Here's a little glimpse into the May 12 gallery opening. I received some great feedback from the visitors to the exhibit. Most people thought I had made a pretty pink skirt that was artistic. The woman pictured in the first image with the look of shock on her face is learning that the skirt is made from real love letters that I had collected. She proceeded to tell me that she had a bundle of love notes herself - and her husband told her she had to get rid of them. The two of us mourned this fact and read one of the letters I received from my high school sweetheart, at age 17. It was a moment I'll remember well.

The 2nd image captures more of this feeling of surprise and desire to touch and read and dive into the memories of the letters, into the love. Everyone wants a piece of the action.

A big thank you to Greg for being in the right place at the right time with a camera, and knowing when that time was.
