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.

The intelligence of the hand #colour#texture#Iceland

Research into the perception of colour  #Weeflab

Two warps for my second residency at Textílmiðstöð - fine linnen and pre-mordanted wool. No design of a result, no failures, just new, unexpected forms. 

Slow process, play and serendipity. Shibori weaving + Glit technique_Icelandic wool + dusty, vintage linnen_finely woven traditional pattern + shimmering, sagging threads.

The hand is the interface, the weaver is the protagonist of our time, especially in the experience of time itself.
