In this series of drawings I use found images, both from well-known works by old masters and from photographs depicting men and women writing letters. The drawings allude to embroidery, with the relief effect of pin-pricks on paper and archival ink on paper, and connect it with correspondence, with the devotion and delicacy and sensibility of writing.
