I still wear the paper costume you made me (Clothilde)

This piece is inspired by the idea of connecting with loved ones who are no longer with us through revisiting special memories through engaging physical senses. In this case Clothilde is putting on the paper costume from childhood where she played dressups with her special person and this helps her feel close to them. She re-enacts those scenes, where an old umbrella is the oar of a Viking ship, or a soft toy is a stallion as they ride in the desert, her paper crowd magically glued to her hair, never to be blown off. These small rituals are important, and if they feel good to do, and we smile while we do it, a connection is undoubtedly made, and our mission is accomplished.
