Have you heard of Alice Piper?

Roughly a dozen years ago I went on a hike with my friend Catherine. She noticed every boulder we passed and greeted them with respect, as if they were elders. Her admiration rubbed off on me, big time.

This summer I am sorting through spaces my father inhabited before his spring death. Spring + Death; my mind refutes the pairing. His absence is becoming more familiar but the process is slow. It is staggering to see his use of materials designed to bind: strings, paper clips, rubber bands. I remember them as a part of him, the way someone would carry a pair of glasses. Attempts to secure or hold together the fragments of his life, our lives. Trying to attach. Connect. I won’t pretend to understand my father in this way but I do see a little bit of his immigration story in these materials. Romania -> France -> Canada -> USA.
