Pia Mauno

 

(b. 1969)

Artist, and initiator of the think tank Skräddare som rebell. Mauno`s work samples from surrealism and textile culture. Her work can both be seen as mapping of an inner world and depict the surrounding social structures. The textile: the fold, the draping, a construction and deconstruction of the body. This theme can also be found in her initiative Skräddare som rebell, which consists of a group of artists who all share some kind of textile heritage. The project wants to place questions of philosophical and theoretical nature next to more personal reflections about textile heritage.
