Leftover cotton fabric, new thread, reclaimed thread. 12 x 19,5 cm.
An ongoing search for color, with the purpose of creating tones that feel deep, resonate, and alive. Colors are drawn onto fabric using a unique sewing technique. The colored fragments of fabric become a study of how colors are developed and brought into relation.

Reclaimed cotton fabric, sewing thread from secondhand sources. 10 x 13 cm.
The 12 colors are crafted using an innovative technique, where the act of drawing is translated into a new textile technique based on the capabilities and limitations of a sewing machine. By intentionally using three threads, I create a nuanced color palette, where subtle interplay between colors adds depth and character to the textile.
