01 / The meaning
Cuneiform brings the idea of a fictional tattoo artist into Gordina’s embroidery. Signs travel from clay to ink and finally to cotton. Star and House, Star and Water, Water and Garden, and Undeciphered explore this shared language of marks through different placements and compositions.

03 / A closer look
Short marks, open spaces and considered placement give each composition its character. From a small chest motif to a vertical line on the back, the cotton becomes another surface for the signs.
