About

My Purpose

 My namne is Anna Losefsky. Vildväv - Swedish for “wild weave” - is both the name of my practice and my guiding principle: to grow into the wild unknown where future becomes possibility.

 I’m in a continuous, transformative process toward authentic self-expression, always returning to the child within my grown woman. At the same time, I’m a mother, caring for my children’s well-being. In weaving, I’ve found a space where I can hold myself and where my mothering can grow.

 My practice partly lives in the solitary act at the loom but it doesn’t stay there. It becomes an offering, moving outward into shared space, becoming community rituals, performance and workshops. I create spaces where emotion turns tactile and takes expressive form, spoken through the language of hands and body, where community becomes felt, seen and held.

 My aim is to inspire others to rediscover their own self-expression, to help their children to keep theirs.

My Weaving

 My weaves are made with structure and patience: warp, yarn, and knots held in frame and loom. And still, they remain tender, with visible threads, raw edges, and unresolved forms. They are pieces without armor and yet, they hold.

 In each piece, I reclaim myself as home. Emotional memory becomes embodied wisdom, and embodied wisdom becomes emotianal memory.

Here, both the small child and the powerful woman are welcome.

Here, the quiet and the wild may coexist.

To Understand The World and to Hold it

 Through weaving and fiberwork as tools for co-creation, play, and storytelling, I create tapestry and artefacts that invite embodied participation. In dialogue with creative documentary forms, such as writing, photography, and film, I explore social ritual, embodiment, and the emotional memory of childhood, motherhood and womanhood, both my own and that of the collective.

Through artistic inquiry, I document these rituals where art, social design, collective care and self-reflection meet, and explore how artistic practice can serve as a listening, embodied, and relational tool for understanding human contexts, and for expressing both the inner child and the powerful woman.

I share a studio with fellow textile artists and take part in collegial collaborations, communal projects, craft cooperatives and global residencies - alongside my own transformation. I believe in the power of the creative collective: where every voice and expression has a place, can be heard, and be transformed.

The work tells the story:

Every thread carries a life and its authentic expression gives form and meaning to the greater weave.

 This is not just my practice.

It is my way of living.
