Can a weaver be a nomad?

The installation at NDSM Fuse, in the hall of the vintage shipyard.

I weave on a CAD/CAM handloom with paper, horsehair, linnen and monofilament. A slow, manual process; carefully choosing material with specific expressiveness and searching for a form. The hand is the interface, the weaver is the protagonist of our time, especially in the experience of time itself.
