OLD LACE, NEW LIFE

OLD LACE, NEW LIFE

This collection explores reclaimed laces sourced in Athens. These laces are historical fragments, each telling a different story, from a different point in time. I think one can assume these laces were largely made by women over various periods which mostly preceded a time where women had many other options of preoccupation. I have rescued over 1,000 laces in recent years that would have otherwise been discarded. I consider Greek laces to constitute a significant part of Greek female heritage.
