Memories Speak -
Award: Members' Choice: Honorable Mention
Artist Name: Ann M Bordeau
City/Town: Arden
State/Province: NC
Country: United States
Materials and Techniques: Made of cotton fabric, batting, inkjet printed images, and a vintage handkerchief. Raw edge appliquéd with yo-yo's, buttons, and rick rack embellishment.
Artist's Statement: We all have bits of ephemera that trigger our memories with pleasant voices of the past. It might be a newspaper clipping, a memorial card, a ticket stub, or grandma's handkerchief tucked in the back of your dresser drawer. Familiar handwriting on a recipe card, a journal entry from years ago, an old postmark, or family photos all hold indelible memories. I tried to make my collection generic enough to speak to everyone who cherishes simple objects that hold special memories.
