I am the Oceanweaver
I tell stories of the ocean. My home is the Stadlandet peninsula, situated at the most western point of the Norwegian coastline.
Here the rough nature, stormy weather and fast changing light, poses an endless catalogue of inspiration, forming the essence of my woven fibre art and design works.
In my creative practice i gather stories, that create handwoven goods for a modern conscious way of living.
Let´s get nature closer to you, and create a sacred space, in your home and/or close to your heart, with wearing my Oceanweaver wearables. A sacred space, that you can revisit and that keep the ocean close to your heart.
I am a textile artist and designer, - a contemporary weaver.
BACKGROUND
Being german, living in a remote corner of the world, close to nature, grants a bird’s eye view on urban and global issues. Seeing weaving as one of the original technologies in ancient history, I consciously bring the weaving legacy forward, through our time to the next. Textiles have always been part of our cultural heritage, and always will, functionally and in terms of identity.
My art and design works give transparent insides into all aspects of production, that I transmit by storytelling - a way of living by the sea. A conscious way of living in todays challenging times of climate crises and pandemic, offering an alternative to todays fast life and consumption model based upon exploitation of human and material resources.
