Looking back on a series of analog photos taken by Angelica Elliot during the graduation project of 2016, when I was making my first big slitrya - “Lockrop/Längtan”. I love these photos and their real analog feel - how the colors come through and the grain that suits the motif so well. Like a still life documentary, Angelica captured what would become the beginning of my future practice; the “budding” of my love for the rya technique. It also shows the environment provided by Handarbetets Vänner: a small but rich space where so much of my knowledge started. Enjoy!
Indigofera x Miriam Parkman
A short reel made by me and Creattalent for my takeover of the Indigofera Instagram account in October 2020. It shows a normal morning waking up in my apartment, having breakfast, getting dressed, going to the studio and starting to work. I'm wearing the full range of garments from the High Coast collection and that piece I'm working on in the loom is the "Beach Glass Dazzler pillow case. 2" soon available on my new web shop!
Midnight Dazzler Blanket
These striking images were taken by Douglas Luhanko on the day of the launch of the High Coast collection at Second Sunrise store, Stockholm. They truly show the vibrancy of the colors in the blanket, and it’s thick, fuzzy yet smooth and flexible construction. I am also wearing the Weaver’s jeans and Cliffs and Moss shirt from the collection, with a 1960s hat and 1950s boots.
