Everyone thought it was Kitsch

The motifs in this piece come from a pictorial blue and white cotton embroidery, about a metre square which would have been placed behind the stove to catch cooking stains in Hungarian kitchens. I bought many of these embroideries whilst researching in Hungary, but staff at the Ethnographic Museum in Budapest dismissed them as kitsch.I have broken down the original picture and repositioned the imagery so that it no longer makes a picture, but a decoration.The distribution of imagery in this piece is influenced by the composition of ‘Everything is better now’.
