Statement:
It has become more and more important for me, as an artist from Finland, to experience the northern atmosphere and its essential elements. Frost, snow and ice transform nature into a unique world of light and structure. For some time I have been working with yellow mica trying to solve the mystery of northern elements. The potential of this material seems endless.

The exhibition Cloth & Culture NOW brings together 35 artists from Estonia, Finland, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania and the UK, including Agneta Hobin, Merja Winquist and Sue Lawty. Textile has played an important role in the cultural identity of these countries and each of the artists is using that textile history to investigate the importance of specific cultural identity and trans-cultural influences in their work.
Most of the selected artists have made new work for the exhibition, reflecting the social, political and utilitarian history of textile within the context of shifting experiences of culture and tradition. These works include the contemporary use of traditional techniques and materials: knit, tapestry, embroidery, felt making, plus explorations of new materials and technology, large architectural installations, performance work, video, narrative based textiles, decorative textiles.g experiences of culture and tradition.
