where the idea of the aprons came from

They are fragile and delicate.
Some [aprons] I've acquired through thrift stores, some were my grandma's, some I made.

As I ironed the piece of fabric I am brought back to the lower farmhouse one summer, making homemade doughnuts with my cousins. We had to pose for a picture once we were done to send to my aunt in DC. I assume it was her recipe or something like that. I just remember my grandma yelling at my younger cousin to smile. He wasn't happy to be making doughnuts. My grandma didn't want my aunt to know.

Although they [the aprons] specifically are not about me, I feel connected. The aprons are a symbol of the strength of women in generations past, women who gave their entire lives to those around them. They are a physical link to a much simpler time now past.
