Astrid’s Rose

This piece interprets a painting by Astrid Holm in the National Gallery of Denmark's permanent collection. The explosion of flowers depicted in the tapestry is a way of expressing the theme of emancipation presented in the painting, which is also core to Holm's life story. The piece was made on a vintage industrial Jacquard knitting machine from 1984 using the cross-over lingerie technique with inverted colours on each side.
