I completely agree! I love her collage of the Edens Theater. It was so creative of her to use the movie listings from the 70s and 80s to create the structure.
Beautiful. As a geneology fan, if you can track down the families whose relatives are in those photos, someone will be extremely grateful, I'm sure. Sometimes the kids or grandkids don't appreciate them, but another relative would cherish them (I know I would). I remember going through my M-I-L's stuff when she moved to a nursing home, and her son (my B-I-L) was putting 75 years of play and musical programs (some signed by Broadway stars!) in the trash. I pulled them out and left them in a box at the nearest JCC arts complex after hours. I have no idea if anyone received them and appreciated them, but the thought of them (and who knows what else?) in the trash, horrified me.
I'm so glad you saved those treasures from ending up in the trash! I recently spoke with Jill, and she mentioned that she’s managed to track down some surviving family members of the football coach. It always makes me wonder how such deeply personal items-family photos, children's artwork, journals-end up in estate sales or thrift stores. I imagine, for some, it's a way of detaching from the emotional weight those items carry. A dear friend once entrusted me with a collection of letters her mother-in-law had kept, some dating back over a century. She asked me to incorporate them into my collages, and it’s been such an honor to give them new life.
Her art is fabulous!
