Susan Howe on the Telepathy of Archives:
“In research libraries and collections, we may capture the portrait of history in so-called insignificant visual and verbal textualities and textiles. In material details. In twill fabrics, bead-work pieces, pricked patterns, tiny spangles, sharp toothed stencil-wheels; in quotations, thought-fragments, inscriptions, endangered phonemes, even soils and stains.”
