evidence of alchemy — Kimberly Anderson

of plenty

of plenty (16x20)
Collage on handmade paper with photo transparency, family photos, embroidery

Thinking about the parts of the Great migration that sometimes don’t get talked about enough. Like moving from small towns to bigger (still Southern) cities, and not just South to North.

Both my grandmothers moved this way and stayed. This piece is about them, movement, about foodways & lland, and home being an altar you carry and build on at once.

Using a vintage portrait of my granny as a young woman in Marion SC and a transparency of the home built in RVA.
