PILLOWTALK

Going against the grain of constant shitty slog, we offered playful permission to rest; and invited contributors to embrace their lazy slutness by grabbing a pillow case or cushion cover and stitching a response to the theme of REST.

A nap, doze, siesta, catnap, snooze, kip, slumber, forty winks, shut-eye: Are you getting enough? Judging by the responses, it would appear not.

PILLOWTALK was an OPEN CALL for everyone everywhere to join in. The call-out began in collaboration of POW Thanet, and continuing to grow as it comes to Bath, giving more contributors a chance to view the project in person.

Working with POW we embraced the idea of unapologetic rest, of the thought of radical rest and a declaration of self worth - all embroidered on a hundred pillowcases.
