Text shows notes and signatures of the women who returned face imprints to me. They are organized according to my assessment of their relationship with me and with each other. One of eight imprints I made occupies the center of eight communities of women, including my family, my husband's family, childhood friends, college friends, graduate school friends, art world friends and acquaintances, women I met while at the Glasgow School of Art, and day job colleagues. These women often enlisted their friends or family members to complete the project too. In such cases, the order goes myself, my friend, her mother, her aunt, etc.
