Description
'Lace' is a series of photographs of Silvia's mother and father's wedding in Sicily, over which she has stitched blue lace. The meaning of the lace is two-fold: it highlights the low regard given to embroidery – traditionally confined to "women's work" and not the fine arts – as well as the money extorted by the mafia and its historical association with violence both within society and the household. Tellingly, the lace is stitched only over the face of her mother.
