I’m going to have a library in my home. Insh’allah.

Chike and the River - Chinua Achebe

I just finished reading this. I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s a quick read, and pretty basic, but as always, Achebe left me wondering about so many things. His writing is excellent at that.

Foot in the DoorPaper, Acrylic Paint, Inkjet Print, 2011”Garments evoke memories; memories evoke garments. My research expands upon traditional storytelling and memoir presentation. Significant moments — personal stories and those of friends and families — are interwoven into handmade paper crafted from recycled cotton clothing. The paper, acting as fabric, is layered with a narrative specifically tailored to the event. The garments are re-creations of actual attire surrounding each of the significant moments. My paper weaving technique — a process of interlacing objects with memories — attempts to redefine the commonplace book structure with chapters emerging from seams. The garments reveal new beginnings, tragedies, life lessons and notable achievements. Memories evoke garments; garments evoke memories.“ Julie VonDerVellen
