| L.V. Hull |
So I read today that her work is being- at last- noticed!
A show this year at the Lauren Rogers Gallery. Collectors are beginning to sell it.
Not me. Kosciusko isn't on the way to anything I'm aware of. When I went to visit Mrs. Hull, I always drove up with that year's cache of Mardi Gras beads, and came away with a carload of art (including cafeteria plates and c.d.'s--she painted on everything). But it was all incidental to the experience of Mrs. Hull. I couldn't part with a thing. She loved company- and why not stay awhile, when you've bothered to make the trip to Kosciusko?
Kosciusko's other "native daughter" is Oprah Winfrey, by the way, and Mrs. Hull didn't have much good to say about her. Never got to the bottom of that. The last time I visited, she was on oxygen most of the time, and I ran a few errands... changed light bulbs, made a grocery run for her.
She died in April of 2008. I found out the day of her funeral, too late to make it, so I made these little altars around my house. Just found these images tucked away in a backup hard drive.
