Description

A quilt made from old, memory-laden textiles tells and interweaves stories of experiences abroad and the ease of travelling. In this textile object, banal tourist experiences are recontextualised by receiving the kind of appreciation typical of souvenirs in a domestic setting, while taking on the intimate form of a blanket. The narrative structure of these fading memories unfolds through various techniques such as embroidering drawings, incorporating hidden objects, and using fragments of postcards and photographs.
