charline giffard
I got chills when I saw this installation, titled “La chambre de Marie” {Marie’s Bedroom}, by Canadian artist Charline Giffard. Her site is in French, but without even reading her artist statement I knew immediately that this work had to be about her grandmother… because everything in this room reminded me exactly of my grandmother, Blanche {who also lived in Quebec!}. I miss her, and these lovely vignettes brought so many memories rushing back. I can almost smell her powdery perfume on those pink dresses.
beautiful and touching!
The first time your blog made me cry
This is a lovely post, as are your comments. It is always amazing when a completely unrelated piece can trigger a flood of memories and I am always thankful for that unexpected emotion. Thank you for sharing this. Our heirlooms and memories are so very important.
Really beautiful! She worked with all her heart to do that. We can feel it. Bravo!
gasp!!!
