"TOTAL" combines a digitally developed pattern with the irregularity emerging from the analogue printing technique. The dynamic between this controlled, digital design and the analogue, fragile and varied print adds a sensual quality to the textiles. Total investigates the spatial potential of textiles. The two textiles emphasize the decisive importance of details and how they affect the overall experience in space; the relation between the screen-printed elements varies across the surface which changes the perception of the colors. The textiles here points at a spatial and bodily experience where an interaction is created between perception and experience - up close and at a distance. Consisting of one large composition rather than a traditional repeat the textiles are given a spacial character where perception and bodily experience is of great importance.
We are both educated form Design School Kolding and The Royal Academy in Copenhagen
We are self-employed. Occasionally we do workshop and lectures. We have been at Design College in Randeres and at The Royal Academy.
We develop ideas together and work in our textile workshop together. We divide our "office work" between us.
We have always both wanted create and develope as a professionals.
We want to create textiles that contributes with sensorial atmosphere to spaces.
To be able to do what we love: the craft
Getting paid for the work we do.
Liv: I think schools greatest job is to form students that are critical of the industry and to become creatives in their our way. When you're graduated you will learn how the industry works.
It has been great to show our work at Ukurant at 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen.
We investigate how the interplay of color, patterns and scale affects our perception. Our eternal starting point is to uncover how we as individuals experience of colors and patterns, exploring how these elements influence the bodily experience. On a more pragmatic level, we seek to challenge the traditional printing technique of screen printing by contrasting it with digitally developed patterns.
We dream of working with site specific projects, where textiles become an architectural part of a given space. We want encourage the curiosity of color and ornements to create sensorous spaces.
