Berith Stennabb

 

(b. 1964)

My transdisciplinary artistic work is based on hand craft experience and an ongoing love story within the textile art field. I am driven by curiosity, and seek to enter new worlds. Those explorations often include motion, sound and visual expressions, and take place in different spaces where I find new stories in various materials and techniques. I enjoy cooperating with people who have entirely different qualifications or approaches to a shared issue.

The linen thread has been my material in an ongoing work, which began with trying to regain the breath through the movement of crocheting. The linen is one of man’s oldest cultural plants and has through history participated in ritual contexts with its unique cleansing properties.
