“There are certain occasions in life where an idea, an image, a project reaches out and demands engagement, and from that moment there is no leaving, no polite nod and moving on. Such a moment happened for me in Oslo in August 2008 when, through her exhibition at gallery SOFT, I encountered the embroidered name tags project of Norwegian artist Lise Bjørne Linnert. As I stared at the more than one thousand name tags I knew I had to bring this exhibition “ Desconocida : Unknown to The Gallery at University for Creative Arts Epsom.”
Lesley Millar, curator and professor of Textile Culture, University for Creative Arts, , From foreword Desconocida Unkown

The publication contains an introduction by Professor Lesley Millar, UCA Professor of Textile Culture, an in depth conversation between Lesley Millar and Lise Bjørne Linnert, and an essay by Professor Kathleen Staudt, Professor of Political Science, University of Texas, in which she outlines the context of the project.
