I’m collecting stories to use in my next textile project and you’re invited to take part.
We all create images in our heads of places we’ve never been. Sometimes they’re conjured by a smell or dreamed up from half-remembered details of a family tale. In Imaginary Homelands, I collect those fragments and translate them into soft, tufted maps - tactile dreamscapes made from memories.
If you are a child of immigrants, refugees, or anyone who has lived between cultures - I would love to hear how you imagined your parents’ homeland when you were a child. If doesn’t need to be factual. I’m looking for feelings, colours, sounds, textures and creatures that live in the landscapes of memory.
