“My grandfather, Thomas Robinson Aiken, left Ireland the year before the Titanic sailed and eventually made his way to Los Angeles to work as a conductor on the red cars. It was a good job for someone with only mining experience and a 3rd grade education. Images and scraps of the past are hand and machine stitched; my father's and mother's pasts are included in the imagery.”
