sewing without a knot at the end of the thread is not sewing
KINGS ARI, 4 - 25 May 2019
“As you are tightening the spiral you must take care. If you tighten it too much you risk breaking it. It is the same with sewing” 1
Sensitivity to space, taking care of objects the way I would myself.
My mother stands in the kitchen, leaning against the sink
lingering in my mind.
I am in an eternal process of trying to understand who I am.
In proximity to
her.
