MARS ZONOROSKY
The nostalgia of your portfolio is very warm: a precious archive of pre-plastic industry full of personality, character. I scooped up as many of my grandparents old tools as I could and carry them around from city to city to city. Beautiful work!
Wilma Birdwell replied:
Thank you, Mars. It may be silly to some but it seems I still have a part of the people I love who have passed on still with me in their everyday objects. Those everyday objects of strangers I feel respect, and want to honor their lives. Nostalgia is good.
