DESCRIPTION:
People
The color photo is of a collection of old fashioned, stiff white collars. All are adorned with knots or punctured with holes that form Braille letters. One is a two-inch-high white eyelet collar on a cardboard band. Red French knots adorn the upper edge.
Arm- Prostheses
A pair of above-the-elbow, cream colored, leather gloves lie on a flat white surface. The right-hand glove rests palm up. The 3-inch-long narrow slit opening that begins just below the wrist is adorned with three tiny pearl buttons opposite three tiny buttonholes. On the forearm is an outline of a figure sewn with pale blue stitches. The spine, ribs, hips and limbs are rendered in red thread. The left-hand glove rests palm down with the same blue figure. A gap appears between the red stitches of the ribs, sternum and arms and another between the hip bones, legs and feet.
