Throughout my upbringing, my mother and I would spend hours wandering through antique malls around Texas and Oklahoma.

I became interested in these objects and the idea of resurrecting the past to the present. By taking images, schoolwork, and journal entries from my childhood, along with those collected through my findings, I draw a connection between them. Most objects and images depict the southern lifestyle of delicate women's clothing, feminine jewelry, and the rough and tough cowboy scenery.
