Description

When you’re a child, you observe your surroundings with a gaze that values things differently than an adults. A piece of trash can easily become a beloved treasure. You learn to navigate through, and use the objects around you as you grow older. By working, shopping, getting dressed, touching, cleaning and so on, the materials around you falls into their predetermined places, if you don’t make an effort to see them in a different perspective.

Instead of placing these liquids along a linear material hierarchy, the designer has  poured them out on the same plane. They consists of various colors, patterns and textures, and are stitched by hand onto of a piece of cotton. It is declared in black chain stitch what each puddle consists of, wether it is old breastmilk, pool water or hot aluminium.

All appliqué, quilting and embroidery is done by hand.

About Anna Nordström Visit Showroom →

In her work Nordström utilizes a wide range of textile techniques, mainly patchwork, quilting and embroidery. The traditional, or more common ways of creating, are modified to concern thoughts on work, labour, status, value and (lack of) professionalism.    Nordström exposes social, commercial and political structures in contemporary popular culture by merging worlds of sensitivity and mass production. Working with textile as her main material her works are in direct contrast to the images of corporate logos, advertisements and self-help books which function as the artistic starting point of her practice. Her humorous aesthetic accentuates the irony in which she treats her work and preserves the unpredictability and improvisation between work and viewer. The expression of the materials play an important part and are chosen based on specific qualities and connotations. Often purchased on sale, often saying something about femininity.
