fatchance:Window to the Past / Roxanne Swentzell / 1999 / Bronze At the Heard Museum, Phoenix, Arizona. I love this sculpture of a woman contemplating her connection to her ancestors in a single bead. I relate to the experience. I keep a shadow box on my wall, displaying bits of my ancestor’s belongings: my grandfather’s dice, my mother’s baby eyeglasses, a buffalo nickel that my father saved, my grandmother’s schoolyard whistle - little emblems of lives lived before my own. They are worthless things, except for their magic, the traces of the spirits of the people who held them before me. -- source link
