A single basket is woven with indigo threads extracted from ready-made textiles. The basket structure is a metaphor for our body: a soft bag to catch the fragments of our body after we have dismantled it. The basket has a rough mesh, and some fragments may spill down.
We look at history, dismantle ourselves, accept it again, and what falls out of it. I have been looking at that cycle and was also thinking about this as I read Indigo’s history.
