"When you see objects that have been known and handled, you do begin to understand what incremental touch does in the world. It’s about kindness. It’s something profound about touch and memory." —Edmund de Waal Wishing a happy birthday to Edmund de Waal (@edmunddewaal), who was born on this day, September 10, in Nottingham, England! A solo exhibition of porcelain works by de Waal, titled "we live here, forever taking leave," is currently on view at Waddesdon Manor (@waddesdonmanor_nt) in Aylesbury, England. Powerfully thoughtful, the installations explore the interconnected relations between faith, history, displacement, learning, and archives.
