6 patchwork quilts made from second hand textiles
Images of Desire is a series of quilted blankets in patchwork technique. Each of the quilts is based on an image of a commodity or sales object found on the online market platform ebay.com. What is depicted is everyday objects - a collection of combs, a plain white t-shirt, a pair of gloves, a phone with a broken screen. Objects that has been close to a human body and a lived life, but that is now is in a position where they no longer holds a value for the owner to keep them. The material of the work is textiles found in second hand shops - bed linen, curtains and tablecloths that, as the depicted objects, shows traces of a former life. If you look closely you will find small stains, patterns in the textiles bleached by the sun or smell the scent of a previous owner.
