During my residency at Villa Strauli, WInthethur, Switzerland. I visited factories in Lustenau, Austria and St.Gallen, Switzerland where laces (embroidered textiles) are produced for the Nigerian market. Engaging the collections of these factories was the point of departure for these body of work produced during my 3 months sojourn in Switzerland.
