I work with weaving as an alchemical formula, a thought experiment and a ritual gesture. I am driven by a presence of great sensitivity and tactile sensibility. For me weaving is ambivalent, ambiguous, intense and serious. Through the process I use different voices, mime them, translate them and repeat. Every step of weaving and its preparations are repetitive. For me the repetition is ritual, a hymn said over and over, which eventually is expanding beyond the weave and me.
The point of departure in my current project is in writings of artist Hilma af Klint in relation to ritual weaving in the form of séances. The history of the spinning factory plays an important part. Through looking at western spiritual movements from a perspective of materialization, the weaving revolves around one main question of how the dichotomies of embodied experiences and immaterial divinities can be shifted.
