ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Hand woven contemporary textile art. HOST is part of a series that studies light and dark, how the two blends together in nature creating subtle colour change as time passes. HOST is inspired by autumn, with a heavy burgundy red fading into a light neutral. A contemporary and abstract take on nature and landscape art. The weave is entirely hand made using traditional equipment and woven on a mechanical dobby loom. The viscose/ linen warp is prepared, then stretched out over a large table and hand-painted. The warp needs time to fully dry, only then can it go on to the wooden loom. The loom set-up process starts by threading up each single warp end, one yarn at a time, ready for weaving. The weft yarn is introduced, to interlock the vertical and horizontal yarns to woven cloth. The mix of materials creates movement and texture, resulting in a soft contemporary painting with strong ties to traditional textile making.

Line is a Norwegian artist, designer, and hand weaver based in the UK. Her creative practice is deeply rooted in craft and process, exploring the interplay of material and colour to produce contemporary woven art. Line’s woven pieces are an emotional canvas, reflecting memories of the land she left behind. Through her art, she paints the colours and textures of her childhood experiences, creating a dialogue between the past and her present. With exceptional skill in weaving, Line’s creations feature subtle patterns crafted from materials, including linen, cotton and paper. Her unique process involves painting the warp before weaving, allowing light, colour, and texture to emerge in a way that blurs the lines between painting and weaving. Line’s studio practice seamlessly navigates the realms of art and design through the ancient craft of weaving and her work is featured in private collections across Europe, Asia & the US.
