Carrying traces of landscapes and care systems from which the wool came,
Katla Björg Sigurjónsdóttir presents her work in three states: felted, woven and untwisted.
In-between raw fibre and finished form, the piece is accompanied by scent and a soundscape
inviting visitors to redirect their attention toward their own senses.
The work emerged from experiencing time alone on family land in rural Iceland,
where a notion of longing and belonging surfaced simultaneously.
A question arose: how do our perceptions shape emotional attachment to a place?
Approaching the material unconventionally, the designer carries her work through intuition and joy,
understanding craft as a form of self-knowledge and a tool for experimentation.
Even if rooted in personal history, this is a space where anyone can experience a sense of connection.
Acknowledging that feeling, often, comes before thinking.
