Connections
The link between a person and a garment can never be planned for, but has lasting impact when a garment becomes a life-long companion. It reveals the potential for change in each individual and often marks that in the associations with a piece, for single, small actions can have big effects.
Scarf recovery
"In 1994 my husband was diagnosed by chance with cancer and had an
operation and then his health insurer sent him on a course of treatment
at a health resort, so we went together, I accompanied him. While we
were at the health resort there was a workshop and I made this scarf
there and that was in 1994, so it’s already quite old. And whenever I
wear it I always think about how lucky my husband is to have got off
relatively lightly and recovered from his illness."
