/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ 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 that she for an unknown reason had stored underneath her floorboards. The great-grandmother used newspapers for the material of her sewing patterns. Now these odd-shaped clippings describe a world some 100 years ago. Many times the hand cutting the patterns for sleeves, pants etc. cut the stories in half – the situations are left open.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ includes a selection of texts and images from the sewing patterns. Each fragment is accompanied by information of the garment and body part it is connected with through sewing. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/’s dust jacket holds a collection of my great-grandmother’s sewing patterns. The reader can use them for sewing clothes such as a shirt and jodhpurs.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ was published as part of my exhibition Air Between Floors.
