“During the pandemic, I asked my grandmother to keep a diary. After listing her activities, she would sign off in wiry cursive: ‘I love you, Grace,’ ‘I can’t wait for things to be normal again,’ or as seen here, ‘Til Tomorrow – good nite.’ Two figures are enclosed by stars and roses, and ‘Pleasure of Love’ is from a Tom Tom Club bootleg band T-shirt I gifted my grandmother and she wore simply because I made it.”—GRP
