Five pin boxes, a limited edition of relics, by David Falkner. They might be useful to Sew Much To Do, Fast-Stitch, Sylwia Style, Pocket Watches and Petticoats, May Alterations. The response is by Deborah Bowkis. Faded Blue It’s gone, the past but sentiment ’s a magnet, we store memories in a matchbox and beetles in a box, keepsakes in coffins. They’re personal not universal yet as sacred, as the skin of a saint, we can’t remain pinned to the past. David Falkner is an artist and curator.
