My favorite story. -Lauren R.“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
Maurice Sendak, rest in peace.
A while ago Rookie posted photos of shrines, and I was inspired by the suitcase one. Genius idea! It’s number 44, if you’re looking for it.
Anyway, at the time I made a shrine to America, because America is basically the home of everything I love (maybe with a few exceptions) and I was obsessing over going there. I drew inspiration from the early American colour photographers like William Eggleston and Stephen Shore and the kind of polaroid/snapshot aesthetic that I associate as being very American. I also included a kind of kitsch retro element, with hamburgers, tacky ornaments, doillies etc.
Fast forward a couple of months to now, and while going through a box of old photos I was seized by the urge to change my shrine. So now it is a shrine to my one true love in life, Nostalgia. Or, more specifically, my childhood. It’s filled with old photos from when I was a kid and a teenager, knick knacks and jewelry I still have from when I was young, old diaries and letters, and the pennant I made when I did my First Communion. It was a good excuse to climb into the attic and rifle through the boxes of stuff I have up there!
Oh wow. -A
WHAT A TOTAL CUTE PARTY -jamie
