I really loved the piece involving the mats by Efthis Patsourakis. I was interested in creating something with a similar composition. Although the idea of collecting things which show a particular memory - such a s plasters... they are used to protect the wound or stop it bleeding. It has an idea of the inside coming outside (blood/puss). I've been collecting some plasters for a while now, keeping them as memories of what I've done to my body over time. Although I've never really thought of them as art?
Looking at the piece with the mats, made me think I could put them together - stitch? creating a collection of memories of pain/accidents.
