suitcase projects

'homebody'- This is my childhood suitcase deconstructed. I used clothes and yarn. Through the process of cutting sewing and wrapping I am creating a nest, a home which allows the changing atmosphere to flow through. I travelled from Wellington, New Zealand to California and back with my clothes inside this suitcase.

How did you manage to keep your clothes inside?

I didn't, some fell out. But I had to put it inside another suitcase to check it in the airlines. I took it back out to go through customs though. I got some strange looks. There's a security check sticker on it now.

Thats really cool. I can imagine you passing by and people doing a double take.
