CHAIRS FOR NURSING MOTHERS

The project Chairs for Nursing
Mothers is somewhat a continuation
of last year’s project entitled
Textiles to Enrich the World of
Sick Children (items produced
for the Department of Psychiatry),
and the results of both projects were
presented as gifts to the University
Children’s Hospital in Ljubljana.

Our basic idea has been to engender
the somewhat lab-whiteness of a hospital
with a more colourful ambiance
and to use the primordial warmth of
textiles created by women; and with
the aid of imagination and creativity,
to invoke a sense of ease and comfort.
We believe that we have located a
niche of mutual communication, a
project that is very personal and, at
the same time, public: something
from women to women, or, put in a
broader context, human creativity for
the benefit of nursing mothers and
their infants.

The project is in its initial stage
because it is - by its nature - a process;
and it will continue as a sort of ongoing
mosaic composed of individual
visual stories. All are free to participate
with their personal expression of
ideas and emotions in the chair
throws for nursing mothers.
