Artform: Textiles
I weave both in recycled fabrics and in wool. Finnish rag rugs are ideally made from recycled fabrics cut into strips which are used as weft. ‘Poppana’ is 1cm strip of cotton or linen cut on bias and is used for lighter textiles. I also weave rya rugs, rugs with a pile. There are still things I would like to give a go such as shawls and throws. Norwegian Krokbragd is a beautiful warm weave using wool for rugs. Inspiration can come from anywhere: plants, scenery, objects and the materials I have at hand, etc. I dye fabrics if necessary although I try to avoid chemical processes.
