om konstnärligt skapande utifrån gamla metoder och material
With abroad education of arts, textiles and nowthe upholstery there were nota long step to become interested inthe visual withinthe upholstery trade. I have chosen to highlight the shapethe world with boththe artist and thecraftsman's eye. I have explored hownew expressions canbe created from traditional methods and materialsfrom upholstery andrelated crafts suchas tailoring for Royal andsaddler. These craftsmake up a webof technologies, materials,and to some extent tool returns and borrowed.By looking at afew items fromthese crafts haveI let myself beinspired and made ??use of knowledgehow to buildforms and eventransfer them tonew areas inan aesthetic andartistic direction. The result is fourcushions which relateto the free professionsand traditions of our craft history.The visual depictionof each ofthe cushions is essentially based onone of thesubject I havestudied: a 16oo-century costume, a1700s bed orbridal saddles fromthe early 1800s. But on techniques and materialsI have seen thestudied handcrafts as a smorgasbordof possible solutions.
