Acknowledgements

This project would not have been possible without Pritika Chowhry, who was determined to make it happen and designed the catalog, Rhonda Radloff, who listened to the stories as she photographed the pieces, and Celeste Anton, who helped me unsnarl the digital images.

In addition, I would like to acknowledge the support I have received from my wonderful husband, Craig Werner, who encouraged me in each step as I worked through the issues reflected in these pieces.

Finally, I would like to thank my loving family: my father and mother, George and Jean Nelson; my sister, Jonlee Peterson; my brother, Mark Nelson; and my daughters, Riah and Kaylee Werner.
