We came across a beautifully hand-embroidered chemise that had belonged to my great-great-great-grandmother. It had been folded away for decades, so it was covered in deep creases. I found something very poetic about this, and I was immediately drawn to it.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"361\" data-end=\"758\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe first drawing I created with the chemise unintentionally became a self-portrait. It depicts a figure standing with her back turned to the viewer, wearing the chemise- as if I were carrying my heritage while simultaneously turning away from it. It felt like a metaphor for how I experienced being an emigrant: drawn towards what is familiar and known, while also feeling the pull of the unknown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe piece is a watercolour painting on paper and comes unframed. The photograph of the work in a frame gives you an idea of how it could look framed and displayed on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zuzanna Salamon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58613145633100,"sku":null,"price":1800.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/BHdkHBf6x2.jpg?v=1788001060","url":"https:\/\/www.newbloodart.com\/products\/the-innocent-smell-of-the-sun-1","provider":"New Blood Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
