Jane Waggoner Deschner began work on her project, Remember me: a collective narrative in found words and photographs, in 2015, to respond to what she experienced as the “hostility growing in our country.” Intending an empathetic response, she began embroidering found family photographs with texts from obituaries written by anonymous family and friends.
The artist carefully pairs each vernacular photo with obituary text written about a different person, using repetition of standard elements to contain and unite the sentimental artifacts.
