Darn

"... I darn and am looking for holes in people’s clothes and the stories that accompany them; repairing these holes and returning the mended garments. It is a way to briefly make contact with strangers. I am interested in the spaces the body occupies, the tenderness of touch and the ways in which we go about day to day life."

Celia Pym, Hope's sweater, 1951.

I like the scars because I like the stories. Bravery, stupidity, pain—none of them come free.
