Frida Kahlo's wardrope was found in a trunk in an unused bathroom in 2004, with an exhibition following in 2006. The book (Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress: The Fashion of Frida Kahlo: Frida's Wardrobe, Chronicle Books 2008) not only includes a discussion of the ethnic dress that inspired her choices but also provides details on the restoration process.

This archive of texts is related to my art practice. It takes its suggestion from the scrollwork pattern, covering with its branches the monumental world without loosing one of its leaves. In the same way as this pattern sometimes resembles acanthus leaves and sometimes describes mere decor, the assembled texts oscillate between objects that show in different directions and yet still form a coherent whole.
