Can a painting start with a frame and then become a window? Gilded, wooden, metal, plastic—all found as remnants of strangers’ lives, in an antique store or salvaged from the street. What pasts did these frames hold? Does the canvas stretched within, layered in oils and pigments, facilitate the massaging out of an image — of its body, of its memory?

The ensuing glow started its life in the world at first unnamed, then named, after lines from a poem. What to do with those bits of poetry left behind, perhaps to be stitched and re-stitched on a cold winter day?

-Amanda Millet-Sorsa, curator
