BY HAND, CARE

Narrative patterns for interior textiles.

In the work By Hand, Care Amanda revisits a previous project where she touches on various kinds of environmental impact such as overfishing and deforestation. Through her pattern design, she investigates the possibility of combining aesthetics with message.

"It becomes a form of reuse of one's own creation. The topic is still relevant and I want to give my ideas new life and let them meet a new audience.”

Amanda Boierth is a textile designer trained at Denmark's Design School in Copenhagen. She alternates teaching image and textile craft with her own design and textile art.

To express care

Marie Ledendal is Textile Designer and Senior Lecturer in Applied Visual Communication at Lund University. 

Marie has explored the concept of care by combining handmade and digital techniques, through including AI generative platforms, such as ChatGTP and Dall-E, in the design process. Through textile printing, fibers, and co-creation using prompts, Marie has explored the meaning and expression of the concept.

W˚HOLE - Sashiko Patch Kit for Denim (Pre-printed Sashiko patterns)

“I care deeply about the environment and repairing my clothes has always been natural. With Sashiko you can create your own style, preserve your favourite clothes longer and enjoy the process of working with your hands. The idea of a Sashiko Patch Kit came while I was repairing my jeans. It´s time consuming to draw up a pattern, not to mention there are some technical measures to consider when designing one. 

I have chosen patterns that are not just decorative, but they consider the practicalities of everyday use. The pre-printed patterns make it easy to start repairing and the prints don´t get smudged while you are stitching. For example, jeans are one of the most used items and it takes a lot of resources to make one. The idea is to make denim repair easily accessible and to have on hand a kit so you can start stitching straight away.”

Adrienn Görgényi Andersdotter is a designer and textile artist. Adrienn is based in Malmö and the founder of Dye Lab Malmö. She has a BA in fashion design from Óbuda University in Budapest and she studied pattern cutting at London College of Fashion.

CARE and Everyday Fibers go hand in hand, they can both be related to taking care of our textile heritage”.

In the Everyday Fibers exhibition, textile artist Teresa Montesino Hammarskjöld will use materials she has inherited. In the work, old lace, leftover threads, pieces of fabric and pieces of wood will form different lampshades. The work conveys respect for the history of textile craftsmanship, reuses textile materials and thus shows respect for the environment.

Teresa Montesino Hammarskjöld is a textile artist and designer. She moves in the borderland between art, craft and design

Textile artist Linnea Leander tackles this year's theme by exploring the deeper connections between man, nature and the modern textile industry. 

"My works reflect my reflection on the role of the hands as an extension of the human interior, creating against the distant machinery of industry. How these two worlds coexist and sometimes collide.” Through hand-made printing processes, she allows the organic to interact with the industrially constructed in a multi-shifted host of motifs. "A surreal metamorphosis with several bottoms, where the thread of time plays an important role. I want to playfully express how our existence is intertwined with the eternal cycle of textiles," she explains.

Jenny Andersen works as a textile designer and crafts teacher in Malmö. The intelligence of the hand and the hand´s desire to create is what drives Jenny both in her role as a teacher and in her own design. She works with many different materials and techniques, but mainly with textile printing and sewing. Older textile crafts are one of her sources of inspiration. ”Great grandmother Olga’s hands were never still, she was constantly crocheting everything from small tablecloths to large bedspreads in white cotton yarn. These hours, caught in stitches, have been called ”Wasted female power” I see it as care for loved ones, things created to make the home pleasant, beautiful and cosy.” The patterns from Olga’s old crochet laces is now given new life in Jenny’s interpretation on the printing tables at KKV Textiltryck.

Matilda Pernryd creates patterns for art and product design, aiming to highlight the versatility and depth of textiles in the exhibition Everyday Fibers. Through a blend of photography, pen, and brush, Matilda crafts patterns that explore the border between organic and graphic expression. Drawing inspiration from textile craft traditions like patchwork, embroidery, and collage, her work invites deeper reflection on materiality and the legacy of craftsmanship. With a desire to question and expand our perception of textiles as a material.

Katarina Höglund has recently studied Textile Art and Design. She has earlier a Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering.

Textile patters, colour and hand-printing have become her special interest. ”With my pattern HANDS I like to give attention to all persons who touch a fabric from the growth of fibre to final product. Sustainability and reusability in fabric manufacturing will worship those persons” says Katarina. In industrial big scale fabric manufacturing often a larger amount of fabric than needed is produced for a specific design collection. This exes often then throws away and support a none sustainable production. Without CARE.

TID, RÅD, LUST, ORK

My work is about not consuming too many resources, neither of my own nor the world’s. I want to stand the test of time and I don’t want to contribute to the world overshoot day is coming even earlier this year. For me, it’s about making sure I have the time, money, desire and energy for what is most important in my life. And for the sake of the world, it’s about not doing something new, but taking advantage of what already exists.

Like a mantra, I have repeated TID RÅD LUST ORK (TIME, MONEY, DESIRE, ENERGY) over old sheets and discarded jeans and I have sewn clothes out of them to wear every day.
