Artist's Statement:
Khun Pikul Deelong-Ngam taught
me to weave baskets out of
old newspapers on a farm in the jungle of Thailand. Declined news gains
growing information value. My hands
give them the shape of organs. They
are interwoven with tales of bodily
experiences of those people who are
directly involved or passing by. Their
contribution is handwritten, remains visible, but is not readable. Each
basket is related to the place where
it is woven and where
the newspapers come from.
Meanwhile, the paper
is gradually yellowing.
But the interwoven
memories do not fade.
