My Grandmother Ate Blue Flowers (after Anna Maria Maiolino), 2018
A series, drypoint and watercolor on paper, 7.5 x 11 in
When my German great-grandmother left
her daughter in the Austrian Alps
as World War II broke out
my grandmother ate blue flowers:
Forget-Me-Nots.
These days, she likes flowers in her kitchen
and keeps telling me how she can’t remember.
