Working Notes, Cynthia Hogue:
Discovered I repeat my mother's gesture. Then built on associative clusters around different images of hands. I wanted to implicate the political into the personal: friends talking, elsewhere---people tortured (I'd heard her speak on her way back to El Salvador), Woolf's personal experience of women's exclusion from formal education. Political/personal: recovering/repeating/re-membering/restoring our (fore)mothers/us.
