In September I when to Macedonia to start the project, I placed the skins into chemicals which was then, for the next 10 weeks, cared by my mother and father. We also found a local company that cut and prepared the tiles for the work and this was delivered and ready for my return.
After arrival to Macedonia the following 5 days I worked in my studio, which is an amazing space on the third floor of my parents house that was created for me 19 years a go before I left, but now most of the time sits empty and is hardly being used…. We organised ourselves and worked as a team. My mother and me made the tiles, by carefully stretching the wet skins onto the black tiles; this was then carried by my father and placed on the covered floor to dry. My sister cooked our dinners and looked after all of us. It was a great team and without they help I wouldn’t have been able to finish the work. We made approximately 100-150 tiles per day, in total we made 600 tiles of 20cm x 20cm.
