YEAR
2004

In Places|Bidassero|Ittiri|Sardinia, six elderly women embroider in a vegetable garden in the spring of 2004. They embroider patches obtained from old sheets following Losi’s drawings, made by translating into images the answers the six ladies had given to the question “what scares you?”, “interpreted” by the artist’s mother. The value of the final result is also given by the events, emotions and places that the collective work held between warp and weft and embroidery stitches.
