Stitched Services (2025)

The Stitched Services project addresses the visibility of unpaid care and household work an. This is done in the form of, and in dialogue with, textiles that are commonly found in one‘s own four walls. It was used as an artistic research for „Armour of Care“.
Hand embroidery is used as a medium to archive various household chores. Through text and brackets printed with a screen print, the objects can function as a diary for both an individual and a community. The categories of screen printing actively embrace communial care and several household assemblages, and the color of a stitched thread can symbolize actions over days, weeks, or months. Here, textiles are  intentionally used as a medium, which are just as  interwoven in our daily lives as unpaid care work itself.

Stitched Services has been exhibited in the Venice Biennial 2026 and Bad Ischgl, as part of the „Mental Load and invisible labour“ exhibition by the Zentrum Didaktik für Kunst und interdisziplinären Unterricht of Angewandte.
