Stitch My Brain

Stitch My/Your Brain are a personal investigation and community project into the body-brain connection. Stitch My Brain are soft sculptures and series of art prints. Stitch Your Brain is an international project documented on a website, curated exhibitions and a book, to be published in 2023. The stitched works of about 300 participants are self-portraits, projecting ideas, global concerns and personal emotions on to the grey matter.

Weaving, taken out of a traditional context is a contemporary artform. Weaving is a combination of material knowledge, imagination and digital technology. The hand is the interface and in this way the weaver is a protagonist of our times, especially in the experience of time itself.
