I am gathering photographs of women who are missed for an installation at the Acorn Gallery in May 2006. The project originated in September 2003 as a way to address the pangs or aches one feels when a person one loves is not near. Conceived as a small altar and installed at a fundraising event I asked friends for photographs of women they missed. After receiving many profound contributions I gained a new respect for the photographic image, having a context for these photographs gave me a deep appreciation for the picture on the mantle or the snapshot in one's wallet.

To participate send a photograph of a woman you miss to:

imissyouphotos(at)gmail(dot)com

or

Edith Abeyta
1873 Echo Park Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90026

Include your name, the name of woman in the photograph, and the last time you saw her.

Deadline: March 31, 2006

All photographs will be posted on this blog and included in the I Miss You exhibition, May 20 - June 24, 2006 at the Acorn Gallery.
