Tower of Patience (Half-Patience) is on display in Projektraum Kunstquartier Bethanien Gallery August 25th – 10th of Spetember.
Individually altered carrier bags house units of a sewn cardboard installation, titled Shifting Security. These bags, extremely practical and ubiquitous, hold inside of them years’ worth of work. Reflecting the deeply personal and intimate act of packing what one can carry in preparation for a move, the packages themselves don’t give much away.

They are patient and still in their carrier bags until they can be unpacked and stitched together, creating aplace for themselves and their viewers, however temporary. And then they nestle back together, to wait some more
