Pig

1985

Dear Mom,

Since you are into self-portraits, here is another. If the one you sent Va. was an Iowa pig, here’s your Chinese one!

I have a self-portrait on the stairway chest – a basket in the shape of a chicken. Its head comes off to get into the basket. I have it displayed with the head off! Me this week!

Love, Sigrid
