Identity 19-10-19
my latest piece was not tested yet.
From my experience and a few women that I interviewed, I noticed some of them has experienced the same pattern that happened to them after moving to the UK.
Most women moved to the UK following their partner from Israel, and some of them experienced hardship finding their own identity in this new settings.
Their mission was to take care of everyone, make sure everyone is settled well, all administrative procedures are sorted but sometimes didn't put their mind on taking care of themselves.
Some of them couldn't fit in with a new job, left their careers in Israel without the ability to pursue a new one here, and felt a big void in their life. They experienced an identity crisis, that made them question their ability, their place in the life of their family, their place in society and

New idea - fur pillow, in K intervention we talked about the fur cushion VS the fur cat, and we realise it's all about consent, control and terms - the cushion was a special, one of a kind and the best gift from a beloved person, elevate her above the rest of the grandchildren, making her feel special and been taking care, hoping she would like the new comforting feeling, the cat on the other hand that might feel the same to touch, is forcing its touch and himself on her, knowing she is not fund of the touch.
Think about it - Should I have a pillow or fur attached to the quilt or should it be in a box? or both?

temporary problem
It was - a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It helped me to tell the difference between a temporary problem and a permanent one.

I should redo the red cord that I did and removed, it comes from SH story and her experiencing her hardship. When she was about 18, her cousin whom she was very closed with, got killed in the army. She was traumatised by the what happened to her close family, uncle and aunt, how their heart was broken and it was so hard for her to contain it and she saw how uncontainable and unbearable it is for them, and she was deeply sad for a long time. When she and her husband got separated she was in a lot of pain but the phrase that allow her to contain and gain strength is the fact that this is temporary - the pain that she experience is temporary, the sadness about their relationship is temporary, the suffering she experience is temporary, and cannot be compared to the sadness and suffer her aunt and uncle experienced when they lost their son, since it is something permanent.

Yesterday I did a new piece - no touch.
I cut the back of a furry sweatshirt, and I put it inside a round embroidery frame and wrote "no touch", embroidery in light pink.
I hang it on the quilt with the frame and the full-back.
It's very much an homage to K intervention with touch - The fur caught in a ring is connected to her love to the fur pillow from her grandfather and the back of the clothing and the words "no touch" connected to the touch she hate the most which is the cat.
I'm using these metaphors to display my relationships with things I love and hate the most which can sometimes might look quite similar, but from a different point of view. I'm pointing also the idea of ambiguous words "no touch" am I asking not to touch the work? not to touch me? stating that I will not touch, I'm eager for a touch. Maybe it's not a good translation of "don't touch" when ESL situation.
