Textile & Art Projects

Whether it’s knitting, quilting, or dressmaking, I’m almost always making something. In particular I want to help highlight the value of what is traditionally under-valued “feminine” craft and the way that things often labeled ‘domestic labor’ are art forms in their own right. The craftsmanship and design behind textile works, and in clothes making, is woefully under appreciated (though I say so myself!).

Through my new brand Laurine I’m also looking into new solutions for fashion that can be more sustainable, and blend practicality with the joy of wearing beautiful things.

Below is a selection of quilts I have made in the past. I will happily take quilt commissions (please keep in mind that they take a very long time, so a good amount of notice is needed)! Send me a message on instagram if you’re interested in one for yourself or someone else.

I am regularly exploring designing and making custom clothing that offer everything I would like in a garment: serious consideration to sustainability (in how materials are produced and sourced, and what happens when they’re discarded) but also clothes that all at once offer comfort, practicality, and a sense of classic femininity.

Fálki was a textile design project created while I was living in Iceland. Using photography I took from various locations around the country, I created abstract prints which were digitally printed on varying weights of silk material and used to create colorful silk scarves and garments.

The pieces were exhibited during Design March in Reykjavík in 2016.

A few patterns of scarves are still available. Click here to order a scarf
