#baachan's patterns

Emma Nishimura is a Toronto based artist, whose work addresses ideas of memory and loss.

These beautiful pieces are from a collection called Baachan's Patterns. Four years after her grandmother died, Emma found a box of miniature items of clothing which she had made, all from paper. She has taken her grandmother's patterns and incorporated them into her own work.
