The poem, by Kingston, Ontario area poet Diane Dawber, refers to an old Buick; she also refers to her aunt as an angel. I chose the Electra, because I thought it sounded like a good name for an angel. The hood of the car opens to reveal the text of the poem, screen-printed on fabric. The trunk opens to reveal the colophon. There are found textiles, acetate windows and embroidered details. The wheels are needle-felted." "Aunt" by poet Diane Dawber was published in 1984. Dawber earned a Masters of Education degree from Queen's University. She has written children's books and books on health as well as poetry.
