These were produced during a three-month residency, “At Home in Europe” hosted by Interspace. I worked with a group of women who sold their exquisite needlework at the open market on Alexander Nevsky Square. Inspired by the traditional embroidery designs similarity to early digital graphics I, along with artist Simon Poulter, designed a tablecloth based on the arcade game Pacman but transposed it into Euroman. The consequent tablecloth design humorously suggests a federal Pacman gobbling up as many countries as he can. The women advised on all stages of the cloths productions; considering elements such as the best stitches to use and where to buy supplies while discussing the EU, creativity, and life in Bulgaria. The project ended with a celebratory dinner party.
