TIMELINE [2013]

46 cm x 102 cm x 127 cm | 18” x 40” x 50”

Knitting with copper wire and monofilament, hand embroidery with polyester thread and sequins, drawing with ink on tracing paper.

The installation is a symbolic representation of my trajectory to the time [i.e., 2013]. It is comprised of 29 drawings on tracing paper, each a metaphor for a year of my life. With an interest in underlining the duality of our existence and at the same time in exploring the capacity of materials to communicate meaning, I chose to use tracing paper which stands for the fragile and transitory, and knitted monofilament and copper wire symbolizing the eternal. Our existence is ephemeral, but we can live forever in someone else’s memories.
