Pocket world 2009

What is a pocket? A pocket is an intimate space, something that makes me comfortable for instance if I am shy or nervous I put my hands in my pockets and I can feel this comfort anytime anywhere. It is your own small private space. I think people have their own fantasy within it and you can carry it with you everywhere you go. I explored this idea by making seven life sized drawings on textile, combined with 3D elements of different materials.

This is similar to how I think about Jewelry. Wearing Jewelry also brings me some comfort. I can also carry this comfort wherever I go. My inspiration sources come from daily objects, daily life, memories and situations and the works are mobile in order to take this intimate and comfortable space with you all the time.
