Vacation

About the work

Small enough to hold in your hands, made with techniques that require exactly that kind of proximity. Vacation sits in the register of the souvenir — something brought back, collected, preserved. Pugacheva incorporates memorabilia fabrics, childhood photographs, grandmother's materials into her textile work. A vacation in this context is not relaxation; it is a visit to somewhere that used to be home. The collage logic — fragments assembled into a surface — mirrors what memory actually does.
