Separation, and how to protect ourselves from the pain, the memories, the distance?
Medieval tapestries tell stories; with needle and thread, they shelter us, protect us from the damp and the cold. In short, they save us.
And so it is that I take up the space given on the wall with a tapestry, embroidering portraits from the Grindr App, those whom I contacted this year, those who "saved the night" for me.
