The weaving and the warp, allowing the loom to expand like a sculpture. Threads being tightened and stretched, weights pulling and stretching, allowing the tools, body, and materials to fill the space, a work in progress, growing, and changing.In the exhibition, I present works that are both depictions of places and the materials themselves.
For several years, I have been active on Gotland, and I make use of what I have around me. Working with local materials connects me with the people, the place, the landscape, and the collective knowledge held by foresters and sheep farmers. By starting from craftsmanship, I am forced to listen to forces outside myself. |
