textilkonstnär, hantverkare och pedagog

Pre-project: Juurinens Päivinens // With roots and all

In december I met up with Eva Svaneblom and Tanja Andersson to begin our pre-project in making a performance and texile exhibition. We went to my family’s house in Torne Valley and got to borrow Polcirkelhuset in Juoksengi as a work studio. To this occation I had made harnesses in reindeer hide and with woven details. We performed with the material that we had found at Korpilombolo Night Festival.

I’m looking forward to continue this process and make a proper concept that we can show all around. I want to make more costume and more textiles that resonates with what we allready have done. All pictures are taken by Lotta Nyberg. Pre-project were made thanks to Region Norrbotten and Norsk Kulturråd and of course Juoksengi byaförening.
