/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ pohjautuu isoisoäitini vaatekaavoihin, jotka hän tuntemattomasta syystä oli säilönyt lattialautojensa alle. Isoisoäiti käytti kaavapaperinaan sanomalehtiä, jotka nyt kuvaavat maailmaa 100 vuoden takaa. Vaatekaavoja leikannut käsi on katkaissut jutut monesti kesken, tilanteet jäävät auki. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ sisältää valikoidun kokoelman kaavoihin tallentuneita lehtitekstejä ja -kuvia. Kirjan kansipaperiin on jäljennetty joukko isoisoäidin kaavoja, joiden avulla lukija voi ommella vaatteita kuten paidan ja pussihousut.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ on julkaistu osana näyttelyäni Air Between Floors.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ is composed of my great-grandmother’s sewing patterns, which she, for an unknown reason, had stored underneath her floorboards. My great-grandmother used newspapers as the material for her sewing patterns. Now these oddly shaped clippings depict a world from around 100 years ago. Often, the hand cutting the patterns for sleeves, pants, etc., would cut the stories in half, leaving the situations open-ended.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ includes a selection of texts and images from the sewing patterns. Each fragment is accompanied by information about the garment and the body part it corresponds to through sewing.
