A journey through time, echoing the past while bringing a contemporary verve.
Inspiration
It appears that women hardly had any access to craftswomanship professions.
It's not that if a story hasn't been told, it means that story never happened.
Hydria (kalpis) - Attic red-figure pottery - 470-460 BC. A depiction of a craft workshop and, inside it, a woman decorating a vase, with those straps avoiding annoying clothing impediments, and confirming the status of an actual worker. Who was that woman? Why was she at work? What was her role?
It is unlikely that there were no female presences in the artisanal fields. There are only a few cases passed down by sources or by chance archaeological finds of a reality that must have been much more widespread. We don't know any names, any identities of the creators of extraordinary pieces; the presence of women disappears in the anonymity of artisanry.
This collection is dedicated to all the women artisans who history does not talk about. It is called Fabra, feminine of faber, deliberately singular and not plural, to emphasize absolute individuality.
To each and every fabra fortunae suae in history — past, present, and future.
