The Domestic Wing

family & friends

things built out of love and a refusal to pay $12 for a domain. if you are reading this, you are either related to me or you owe me a favor.

A small domestic shrine on a dark wooden shelf: three crooked framed printouts connected by a delicate gold thread.
Pl. ivthe domestic wing, installation detail. three small frames, one thread, one (1) mother who has not clicked the link.
we love you. we will not be opening the link.
