dusty evolution

The illusion I have is of being split from head to toe, as in hemiplegia or an imperfect twinning process - with separate circulation on each side, the blood rushing furiously.

Revisiting Romania: Dress and Identity explores how Romanian folk art has been used to express identity and nationhood in Romania in the 19th and 20th centuries, including its use as a political tool during the Ceaușescu years.
Many of the objects were donated in 1957 following an exhibition at the Horniman, which was organised from behind the Iron Curtain.
