Dropseed Memory Project

In November, a few artists and I teamed up with a writing group at the Senior Center in Iowa City to collaborate for the Dropseed Memory Project. Each writer would write a story based on their favorite memory and then each artist would make a work of art inspired by that story. My partner, Fran, wrote a story about a cantankerous rooster that pecked at her younger sister only to be punished by being flung in the air by their father. It was a hilarious story and really gave me great insight into growing up on a farm in Iowa, something I am gradually learning more and more about.
