And the hankies say...

I embroidered hankies with individual words that you can change around as you see fit.

Above currently reads:
I Love You Don't Miss Me

Other possibilities:
I Miss You
You Miss Me
Don't You Love Me
You Love Me
I Don't Miss You
I Love You

Drawing from the tradition of monogramming or personalizing our belongings, against loss, as a memento of a special occasion, or a caring acknowledgment, I embroidered a series of words on handkerchiefs. Literally playing on words, depending on their arrangement, this piece also serves as a tender reflection on relationships and the differences shifting one's viewpoint might make.

A (well-spoken) tweet from the Anton Art Center from Mar 28, 2009:

Artist Naomi Falk just led us in making circumferences of ourselves out of string/yarn/ribbon - now I can hold myself in the palm of my hand

My piece in the show:

Cover

"ripe spring turned thoughts to nutritious crumbs feeding an uncooperative craving good faith"

"a blizzard of solemn gestures fell shimmering to the floor"


"and covered the room with virtuous dust, transparent and concentrated, it's danger lay fresh"

"cloudless hours fell in protest confusing sense and rational emotion. night captured waking thought."

"lies obviously not serious still not free"
