DescriptionDescription: The artist’s own thoughts, for the exhibition Expressions in Glass 2019 The mat is like a DNA sequence. Like the original and traditional rag-rugs that were woven from the family’s worn-out textiles and in which you could recognise mum’s skirt, the kitchen towel, dad’s working trousers, etc. The mat represents who I am, it is me, “a construct” of my background, feelings, values, memories as well as my expectations. The glass offers viewers what they see, themselves, their moment, their space. Like pearls on a ribbon, pages in a book, each one with its own information.
