Seeking to reclaim and embrace the materiality of discarded garments as active fragments, carriers of memory and meaning, the work explores how new pieces are born through the notions of collage and emotional, associative material thinking. From landscape erosion, displacement, accumulation and fragility; images of water and tributes to the sea goddess of certain South American cults; a desire for softness and affection; and an admiration for the traces of handwork, the process deconstructs and merges second-hand pieces with a larger mixture of own concerns and intimacies, acting as a repetitive meditation on what endures, what\u2019s untainted, and what\u2019s given value and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
