Un messaggio nella bottiglia (A Message in a Bottle)

BY CECILIA BERTONI
2015

A friend of mine, a sound artist, asked me to make him a personalised cushion.
He gave me an old t-shirt as a starting point. On the sleeve of the t-shirt there was a darned patch where a dog had bitten through.
I decided to use only the sleeve and to make the cushion just out of elements that I associate with the person. I thought auditory and olfactory features were as important as visual and tactile. And so was born a portrait of the person.
