Unfolded Dowry is an exploration on the cultural significance of objects.

​The imagined space of the installation is a layering of references alluding to Romanian cultural heritage and veiling my own memories.

​In seeming together old and new fabrics - hand woven and machine fabricated – the past and the present, the ‘natural’ and the ‘synthetic’ combine. Most of the fabrics or objects I used are significant to me. Made by my grandmother and aunties, they retain their own stories, memories, and hardship.

The installation is a journey out of time. It is about past traditions – though traditions which have become increasingly alien – and it is through memory: but it is a memory re-imagined, remembered and re-manufactured.
