Flowers for peace
‘The idea for “Make a flower for peace with me” arose after the exhibition at the Marble Church.
The idea was, and is, to go into the world, set up my table – perhaps in front of a church or a cathedral or places where people of power and influence come. My dream is to cut a flower together with a head of state.
I have been to Milan, Paris and London. It’s a philanthropic project, so I have to combine it with trips I would be taking anyway. It has proven a little challenging, because even though the purpose is peaceful, you’re not allowed to just set up a table in the public space without a permit.
In Milan, the police grabbed me by the collar, but I will continue my journey with this set-up.’
Let me introduce
Let me introduce my personal and professional background, based on many years of work – initially as a craft maker, later as a fashion designer – and my motivation for publishing about crafts, design, architecture, food and fashion.
In photos and text, I cover the people practising these occupations and the resources involved in their processes – including both human resources and what we used to call materials.
