I’ve written previously about my affection for old, thin quilts, so I won’t go into all that again.

This photo is not unrelated to the quilts, for reasons that you can probably figure out.

I’ve also written about how my color memory complete evaporates once one of my images becomes black and white, which is why I can’t tell you with any degree of certainty what the colors of these various metal panels are. I could go back and look at the original images, but I don’t really want to. In fact, I don’t even really care.
