homage to our mothermothers
2024, hand-dyed cotton textile with madder roots and Logwood, embroidery thread, 420x120 cm
The textile work wants to stitch landscapes, memories and dreams from a far away time and place, that mothers and grandmothers brought with in their carrier-bags.
While starting with minimally embroidered, almost empty textile as a landscape; the work was collectively embroidered throughout the workshop dates by many collaborators who sat down together around a large piece of textile and stitched memories they carry about their grandmothers. The work still travels to be stitched further.
