Ginna Lee . Stitches of visible emotion through memory foam
How can emotion be expressed in a textile?
We can’t say that Ginna Lee lacks imagination, perhaps this is one of the most innovative projects I’ve seen recently, she used the memory foam for a textile project in which every gesture becomes a memory shape projected on the body, a sign of the touch, a mark of emotions experienced. If we hug someone, we’ll keep the memory of that gesture even after it has finished, but for how long? Unfortunately, only for a few seconds (this is of course my personal and romantic view of this work). Memory foam is a polyurethane material with high memory density and pressure sensitive to the shape of a body pressing against it. The project is clearly all about research, it aims to explore how to reinterpret materials in a new way through emotions, wounds that remain on the body, crochet that sew stitches. A fashion splatter revised under a poetic key.
