Glove’s partner by Mandy Pattullo
“A name and a glove, both intimate personal objects.
The inside of a glove holds the memory of a unique palm print, a lifeline, palmistry, astrology, astronomy and the stars above.
Imagine an amateur stargazer looking upwards and noting down on a gloved hand, observations of the night time sky. Later to be embroidered. As daylight disrobes, each glove becomes an embroidered braille constellation, a tactile reminder of that which can no longer be seen.”
