"LOOKING FOR ELSEWHERE" Gallery Show: Grandma Borghild & Grandpa Tom

Grandma Borghild & Grandpa Tom
Borghild, born in Norway, was a fascinating and creative woman. She was the best cook of the family, an artist who painted in oils, a singer, and she gave great parties. She took me to Paris when I was 13 and we went to the Folies Bergere. It was the first time I saw a naked woman in public. She suffered from depression, her Brother Chris hung himself in the basement of his apartment in Brooklyn. Years later Norman the son of Chis killed himself.
