To Be and To Become: research (2021)
Out of the legacy of my great-grandfather, ‘the last basket maker from Risa’, I spun the wood fibres of his baskets into yarn through my own hands, whilst processing the fibres as pieces of storytelling. The material is woven into cloth to serve as a dialogical patchwork, blurring the lines between tradition and its evolution, much like the concept of queering, it aims to broaden historical storytelling by embracing many and diverse forms of language.
