I will save the world by mending.

 

Since 2013 I have been pursuing a life-long performance piece titled I will save the world by mending. In this performance I offer a service, people are welcome to bring me their tattered, torn, and worn garments (or fabric objects), and I will darn, hem, and mend them. This is my attempt to save the world. 


This performance is a service, a task, a labour that I offer for free in an attempt to save loved items. Each repair is miniature and literally threads wide.
