✨️ L.F. Markey is proud to present 'Things We Carry', an exhibition of mended paper bags, collected from Celia’s daily life.⁠
Originally used to carry everything from pastries and bread to parsley and buttons, the bags have been torn and worn through use, then carefully darned and patched back together. Their repair celebrates these everyday objects, giving new life to a material designed to be discarded.⁠
⁠
'Things We Carry' will be showing at L.F. Markey, 50 Dalston Lane, E8 3AH from 3- 17 November. ⁠
⁠
