Grandma's tattoos
2024-ongoingEmbroidered quilt and notebook
330 x 370
A processual trace of Basically—specifically our clothing line Arcane Clothing, this quilt was gradually assembled during various exhibitions, and is presented as a space open to new layers of meaning. It invites the public to join in a shared practice of stitching—accumulating doodles, dedications, and messages—and to engage with an open composition, in which creation is a collective and ongoing process. Alongside the quilt are a pile of mostly blank notebooks with some pencil sketches on how to embroider and an invitation to leave your name in order to be credited for your contribution later.
