    In her third exhibition at Linda Hodges Gallery, mixed media artist Daphne Minkoff continues her exploration of non-conventional beauty; the discovery of unexpected connections in disparate elements.
    "What Remains" specifically refers to letters written to Minkoff's grandmother by her grandfather during WWII. Killed in the war, Minkoff's grandfather was a stranger to her, and, written in a language she doesn't speak, the letters represented her sole connection to him.
    Through the ongoing development of her painting, Minkoff discovered a parallel between the unknowable correspondence from her grandfather and the anonymous graffiti she often photographed on her travels. Each represented an epitaph of sorts, an effort at mark making for posterity. By collaging the letters and graffiti, Minkoff creates a new documentation, one that speaks to communication, loss and the transitory nature of life.
