Baby You Know Me
This piece was included in the gallery show “These Days”, a collaboration with photographer Bill Webb, Jr. of Memphis, Tennessee. This is another piece inspired by the memories of the location in Bill’s photograph. After leaving my husband I reconnected with someone from my childhood. I would pass this firetruck every time I went to see him. I fell deeply in love with this man but there were too many incompatibilities to have a relationship that resembled what each of us wanted. Much of it boiled down to poor communication and misunderstandings. I still had letters from our grade school days. Notes he had passed me in class more than letters, actually. I used these notes to wrap tin cans and ran wire formed into script between the cans, much the way you would make toy tin-can telephones as children. Obviously pretty useless for any serious communication, illustrating that communication is only as good as the tools you use to share it with others.
Tin cans, old letters, bailing wire. If you would like to purchase the photograph in the images please contact me. It will cost an additional $150.00.
