The beginning

In this series I want to explore our changing relationship with time through the lifetime.

When we come to this world time is nothing – we are the center of The Universe and this is what matters. It takes time to see and understand that our life is not an accident but the result of many processes, big and small, happening in the past.

I visualised one’s life as a lace – we are not aware of the thread but we use it to build ourselves and to create our own pattern.

So I decided to use scraps of different fabric saved from my entire life as a background. Pieced together and slightly dyed to unify but still keeping them recognizable. Machine quilting and hand beading create all the ties and connections not so important for the black lace but nevertheless existing.
