embroidered memories
If you 'embroider' memories, we might assume that to mean, 'embellishing', or 'decorating', a process of adding unneccessary detail. In these embroidered memories I am doing the opposite. I'm transferring the minimal line drawings as directly as possible.
In the process of collecting and transcribing these memories, the majority of the information remains unrecordable, too indistinct or something that was 'felt' rather than seen.
The details that have not been defined by a line in these embroidered memories may be just as important, but this is not an exercise of designing a fantasy or proposal of possibilities. So the details that are described are allowed to be definitive.
I started out by establishing a position of relative importance to each memory, and where each one should appear.
The front has all the memories which have been central to the design of the house, as they go down towards the legs they become details such as the position of a window. On the back are memories of details which are useful solutions to parts of the overall design, or things which don't feature in their original form, but the indefinable essence of which has been significant.
The text which describes each image will be put in a referenced list on the seat of the pants. For this text I will use freehand embroidery to distinguish the information on the house pant dress from that on the house plan cape.
