They are paper-thin, 1960s Kmart blouses, found in two different colorways. I have called them “The Twins” since high school. For years, they have lived on the edge of my donate piles. They have made it as far as the trunk of my car, nearly recycled back into the thrift store abyss. At times shoved into moving boxes, cataloged as “inventory,” But every single time I get ready to let them go, I pull them back from the pile. I realized I wasn’t keeping them because they were rare artifacts. I was keeping them because they are a piece of my history. They survived high school, and every version of me to this day. Instead of forcing myself to let them go out of a sense of obligation, I decided to tend to them. I recently had them mended. What ghosts do you keep in your closet?? by @jowayseeker
A Happy belated anniversary post to me! My mom’s 1980 catalog dress from my parents’ attic became my wedding dress last September. And my beautiful quilt coat was a dedication to my grandma. Love is a chain people. I’m so grateful to be one of the links. 🍂 🌺 That seamstress ➡️ @terryjanisch That friend ➡️ @queen.of.marigold #KeptWell #LegacyKeeping #WeddingDress #QuiltCoat #FamilyHeirlooms by @jowayseeker

Wallpaper leaves an imprint on your brain. I made that up, but I believe it. These paper names were hand cut from a reproduction of my grandma’s mid-century bathroom wallpaper. A pattern I stared at for what is conservatively hundreds of cumulative hours, doing what you do in a bathroom, as a kid with nothing else to look at. I screen printed the design by hand and cut hundreds of names into it, one for everyone I’ve ever known. That’s the work: finding creative ways to preserve what we inherit, not just store it. As an artist and storyteller, this is how I keep things alive. The more I reflect on projects from my past, I realize that this was always my purpose. #KeptWell #LegacyKeeping #StoryKeeper #midcenturywallpaper #PreservingMemory by @jowayseeker
Nothin like the Sammie Fair with my beloveds. Rose: we adopted a new pet, thorn: I dropped my Italian beef quesadilla in the dirt. Rose: they made me a new one for free by @jowayseeker
What. I was sitting waiting for the bell to ring at school pick up. I am crying as I post this, and probably will the whole way home. I’m so relieved that when I asked Sonny just now if he knew who Dolly Parton is he said yes. Painted in 2022 😭🦋🌈 by @jowayseeker
BRB. Going down a wormhole researching how to get 1940s 16mm Cine-Kodak Safety Film scanned to digital. 🕳️ These Camp Willow Bank artifacts have no date, just two inscriptions: “pool” and “will call.” Decades ago, my great-great-aunt dropped this film off and waited for it to come back. Now I’m waiting — two of us, two different universes, both in anticipation of the results. I’m diving deeper into this research, (pun intended), to be able to sense the feeling of being there. This is the work I bring to my clients: not just converting the format, but carrying history and legacy forward so it doesn’t end where the reel does. #KeptWell #SwedishDeathCleaning #LegacyPreservation #16mmFilm #Familyhistory by @jowayseeker
