Handmade Burned Art
Aunt Jane
On Basswood · February 1, 1989
Some pieces are more than art — they are acts of love. This portrait of Grady's younger sister Jane was burned by hand on February 1, 1989, each stroke of the iron placed with the kind of care only a brother knows. The softness in her eyes, the curl of her hair, the quiet confidence of her smile — all of it preserved not on canvas or paper, but on wood, where it will outlast them both.
