Material Stories


2O22


An autobiographical exploration into the stories and memories held within wear to our garments.

A custom made uniform, produced in collaboration with Per Gotesson, was worn over a 2 month period, and the wear to the uniform was recorded and sketched from memory into the diary. Accompanying the sketches is a diary entry relating to the memory stored in the wear.

The cover depicts the silhouette of bacteria grown from samples taken from the uniform. New life grown from old stories.
