Seemingly unrelated, a pink and orange chain has embroidered names of artists on its links such as Smith, Waal, Hicks and Murphy, as well as...me, the name of my mother and grandmother. A chain of connections and interdependent links coming from my intention of presenting to the viewer things passed from one generation of woman to another ...till they get into the public sphere.

A possible hint or a soft answer is there, very much into your face, the word sewn soft : pleasure. It fuels our desire, the pleasure and desire we feel from the first moments when we are breastfed with milk from our mothers. It is ingrained within us and inescapable, and we are bound to it like with a chain ….through our very pink flesh bodies. “There is no way to still the attraction... “
