Urban space offers a dizzying multitude of traces and clues, every one of which has a story to tell, if one is attentive enough to hear it. Friends and acquaintances told me stories about particular locations in the town of Aarau. I thus firstgarnered traces and clues before personally securing evidence on site to back up the stories; and this inspired my textile designs for products that in turn reference the situations recounted. In this way I broughtthe stories full circle, back to where they originated.
