Relics/ Reliquias ( el museo de Mely)

Relics consists of the embroidered clothing pieces, which Mother created between the 40's and 1950's while working in a famous atelier specialized in embroidering bridal garments & negligees in Buenos Aires. After marrying my father she never did return to live in Argentina, but her needle and thread continued actively through out her life. With these heirlooms she adorned us with a golden age of Argentina, one we only knew through her stories and creations. We gave this collection a name: El Museo de Mely

Text will be integrated into the exhibiton in the form of memories, associations and historical facts. The form of integration is still in experimental stage.
