Hemma igen / Home again, slitrya by Miriam Parkman 2018
My co-author and colleague Arianna Funk has written a piece about the Swedish Slitrya, a form of rya woven softer and more blanket-like than the sturdier and tightly woven floor rug. I made my first slitrya for my graduation project in 2016 and have since continued to explore and develop this technique further. Arianna’s using two of my pieces as examples in her article and you can read it online here.
Rusty Dreams - rips of time through lens, warp and heart was an exhibition by me and photographer Mira Svanered displayed at HV Galleri Laboratorium in December through January 2019/2020. Based on our roadtrip in the USA, November 2018, it featured prints of analog photos by Mira and rugs and tapestries by me.

We also made a feature of the road trip for American Trails magazine, with Mira’s photo of Lindsay at the Orbit In Hotel in Palm Springs on the cover and a 6-page story written by me inside. The magazine can be bought here.
