"A project that involves numbers… the first thing that came to my mind was BINGO. Pretty obvious, but as I moved to the UK recently I noticed that bingo is taken much more seriously over here. I pass a bingo hall every day on my way into town and I’ve become intrigued by the whole ‘bingo culture’. I started fantasising what goes on in behind those doors. The anticipation, the suspense, the defeats and the victories…
In my work I like taking something outdated, old-fashioned or uncool and try to make it interesting again by taking it out of its context. That’s why I’ve chosen to make brooches, an accessory usually associated with old ladies (just like Bingo is)."
