A Graveyard for Patterns

A Graveyard for Patterns are three dimensional pouches from handmade paper that incorporates thin threads from my old summer dress. This dress was my companion for over thirty-five years and a collector of memories.

Incorporated in the ludic bundles the threads allude to socially constructed systems that shape my live and are often invisible.

A Graveyard for Patterns honours the ambivalence of loss.
