The Edit
From Early County. To anywhere.
Kaleb A. Bearden. Est. 2003. Blakely, Georgia.
The Place
In Early County, Georgia, two road graders sit on a lawn. They have been there longer than most things still standing. Yellow paint, steel wheels, blades that once cut into red Georgia dirt. The kind of objects a small town keeps without explaining why.
Next to them, a sign:
Early County Road Department
763 Jessie Johnson Street
Blakely, Georgia. 39823
This is the address.
This is the origin.
The Codes
Every piece from the house carries codes.
KB. 2003. Road Services. C.G. Railway. Blakely Depot.
These are not decorations. They are coordinates.
Road Services comes from the Early County men who kept the roads passable. 2003 is the year. KB is the founder. Blakely is the town.
Every garment is a wearable archive.
