Lot Essay

"So you have this thing that touches your body, but also touches your mind way back there when you started to think about how perceive the world...There's something about towels as I use them–they absorb something of the person who uses them. They're like a portrait of the person who used them, an abstract portrait. It also becomes something permanent. It holds." – Paul Lee
