Some of the most considered work is also the quietest.
Through The Atelier, Girl Gone Authentic works with brands, makers, artists, institutions and places to uncover context, develop ideas, and give them language. A commission might become an essay, an exhibition text, a collection story, a publication, a campaign, a concept, an archive, a poem or something entirely its own.
Where the thread begins
I. Objects & Heirlooms
Research and narrative biographies for objects, jewellery, collections and antiquities. Girl Gone Authentic traces provenance, material histories, makers, meanings and the stories carried through generations.
II. Places & Lineages
Research into studios, homes, hotels, landscapes, architecture and places. Girl Gone Authentic uncovers the histories, materials and ideas that give a place its character.
III. Ideas & Narratives
The literary and conceptual development of collections, exhibitions, publications and creative projects. Finding the central idea, then giving it language.
IV. Writing & Editions
Essays, artist texts, poetic prose, publication texts and small editions. Writing for work that begins with materials, places, ideas or the hand.
