you you you and me



Andrea Carvalho



you you you and me is an exhibition, a project, about embroidery, patterns, and the complexities of cultural objects and memories. The pieces come from different maternal figures in Andrea’s family. Some belong to her mother, a craft she quickly abandoned after moving to Canada and marrying Andrea’s father - for her a quiet but defiant act of moving past her ‘old world’ Portuguese upbringing. In the gallery, the embroidered pieces are recontextualized, becoming objects of repeated pattern and labour, colour, and shadows.

*it is a myth that magpies pick up shiny things---but they do scavenge
