Hand Imprint - San Isidro Cemetery

Sugar Land TX, 2004
This photograph will be the frontispiece of my forthcoming book "Cemeteries of Ambivalent Desire: Narratives of the Deep South in a Texas Graveyard," published by Texas A&M Press.
This piece of concrete was laying by the fence between the Latino and the Black sections of San Isidro Cemetery. Apparently someone made it of spare concrete that had been used to decorate a grave space.
The image is intriguing. It is a striking symbol of the inverted and spotted memories residing in San Isidro.
