Recollections: Blister Sisters

BLISTER SISTERS is a collaborational art project between designer Helle Robertson, artist/writer/musician Leif Holmstrand and Joanna Thede. During 2014 we will investigate the material of emptied blister medicine packages and turn them into lamps, clothes, jewelry, images, sound pieces and performance art.

Blister Sisters is a part of the series Recollections which is supported by The Swedish Arts Grant’s Committee.
