My Little Icelandic Pony

Using Icelandic yarns, this piece is a fusion textile merging Turkish carpet knots with the Scandinavian rya tradition of wool rugs with a long pile. Central to its inspiration was the long body-memory hypothesis: the ability of the body to store memories. The fur-like fabric, TOUCH, evokes sensorial experiences, recalling human layers of invisible fur, showing how our living skin is a direct passage to our inner life.
