“…I remember my home, where I grew up, the many details and textures surrounding me as a child. Like dusty air in the dark small storage, mold on the curtains in my room, holding a towel blanket on a hot humid night, mystery drawers, big bookshelves….. it’s an attempt to keep something I don’t want to lose, rather than to create something new.” – RK
