Taylor
Alma Lesch was a great admirer of Marvin Finn's sculpture. His signature 'rooster' being one in her private collection upon her passing in 1999.
Taylor, while still a pre-schooler, was given a button necklace made by Alma when she visited Kentucky early in the 90s. Alma enjoyed Taylor's summer visit and remarked on the creative focus Taylor demonstrated in the shade of our neighboring back yard art activities of painting, constructing sculpture from plant materials and working on a series of plaster chocolate mold Santa forms.

On the same sunny April Sunday that his mother returns home from her visit to Kentucky, through Buenos Aires, Juan dives into cold water at Bernheim deep along a trail... Susana, whom I gave one of Alma's stitchery teaching booklets of samples, would show Maria and Ana, two of Juan's three sisters, how to practice embroidery stitches... my idea of cultural activism. I too would fly American Airlines to visit them at the bottom of the planet in Jan-Feb 2004... for summer!
