Background
"As a textile designer, I want to be mindful of the world for which I create. It is important for me to be familiar with the craft traditions on whose shoulders I stand, and I see it as a privilege to be able to help interpret them and renew them.”
Unpredictability of Faroese knit
In the Faroe Islands, as the saying goes, you can experience all four seasons in one day. For hundreds of years, this changeability and the supremacy of nature have been inescapable conditions of life for the Faroese. Based on this unpredictability of human life, in and with nature as well as in traditional crafts such as knitting and embroidery, the designer has created ARV (Heritage) – a range consisting of three hand-knitted shawls, dedicated to the women to whom the designer attributes her Faroese cultural heritage.
