Student Narrative
Hands That Held Them contains a series of 5 poems, written about objects and furniture that I have collected overtime. I began to purchase items off of online marketplaces and would ask the sellers for the history of the objects. Some individuals knew nothing of the provenance of the object whereas some could tell me details down to the day they purchased it when they were a child. I document all these stories and complied a handful of poems about these objects and what I know about them, accompanied by illustrations of the objects.
