So often in museums it's the textiles departments that suffer that fate of never being seen or studied. Kept locked away. Most collections when budget allows, are properly catagoried and attempts at preservation are made. Othertimes, they remained overlooked even by the staff.

Currently trudging away as a returnee to college studies, I hope to find a way to transfer into studies that will one day allow me to discover opportunities such as the one T.Shea was able to.
