Fleeting thoughts? Glimpses into somebody's inner world? Like a snapshot of a secret.

Within the exhibition, Andrea's work is part of the subsection "Dissecting the Past: Myths and Memories." She draws upon personal childhood memories from Transylvania, family lore and legend, cultural mythologies, and the subconscious for inspiration. It's a rich subject for Andrea: the 2007 exhibition Pricked: Extreme Embroidery featured a very cool set of fabric swatches embroidered with Transylvanian folk wisdom passed down from her own Mother. image courtesy: http://a.parsons.edu/~dezsoa/DRAWING_embroidered.html

Andrea shares two alternatives to her tunnel books @ Parsons New School for Design: the first is the more traditional accordion style and the other is a simpler, wrap-around format. In the latter, each individual "screen," or portion, of the tunnel book has side tabs that are are affixed to a long strip of the same material. The strip "wraps" around the sides and back of the book. image courtesy: http://a.parsons.edu/~dezsoa/BOOKS_Tunnel1.html
