Bruno Vinhas
Textile Artist & Curator
My story doesn't start on early this morning, it comes from the people before me - my ancestors.
It will come from the people after me - the memory I leave behind.
It comes from the names I was called and how they become part of me - if not my entire self.
I started with the things I was told and how I came to deny them and it stays as an ever evolving succession of breaths and places.
My story didn't start this morning and it shall not die with the sunset
