DEA/CREATIV PROSSES.

I making clothes that are ment for the body, but the clothes should stay as uniqe sculpture themselves.

Shapes and proportions has always interested me., also how shapes and proportions play together with the material.

I using the handknitting machine as a tool to knitt shapes directly into the knitting clothes.
The clothes created in the knitting machine, with minimal seams. I finishing the knitting work by felting into the washing machine - amend the quality of knitting to a new visual material.

I knitting shapes and proportions and put them together, so they reminds me about my days of childhood , with womens wooldress, national costymes, cultural heritage and nature.

I using 100% woollen yarn.Wool is kindly to people and environment- a great natureresource as we have to think about.
