andmemories

"I am fascinated by the inherent beauty of timeless objects. While trends come and go like the seasons, exclusive materials find a home in new shapes and uses. Or not. I see it as my mission to find forgotten objects of particular craftsmanship and quality. Silverware, pieces of traditional embroidery, crystal glasses from Venice–Objects like these have unusual quality and tell stories about lives lived in other decades and centuries. Today they wander around the shelves of second-hand stores or wait at the bottom of a mysterious bin at a flea-market booth. Dust and water leave their imprint while memories quietly fade away. Andmemories is the project in which I give voice to the forgotten treasures from the past. I open up a stage for trades and crafts from the past and let them come to life again. All my editions are unique and limited to the amount of supplies available. The last few metres of a certain fabric, the only silverware found and the last pieces of an embroidery come together for one final show with only a select few acts. Each piece and every series is unique–limited to time and space."
Each bag is unique and fabricated locally in Zürich.
