Wild Weave – a Green Story in Rags
Spring 2024
Wild Weave portrays a bush and is a story created in green rags. This work explores weaving as a performative storytelling practice (embodied storytelling), where body and material meet in a process of memory, wounds, and healing. It departs from the idea that one must be able to hold oneself in order to hold others.
Through weaving, self-inquiry turns into care. The irregular, organic shapes carry traces of exploration where process matters more than perfection. Each woven field becomes a map of inner impulses and choices - an encounter between feeling, thought, and hand.
The green sections speak of ritual and presence through repetition: green upon green, rag up and down. In this rhythm lies play, holding, and the act of staying present. The voids between woven parts act as silences in the narrative - reflections on absence as much as on presence.
The openness of the work invites other bodies and stories to emerge. The weave exists both as practice and as artifact: a shared space for imagination, care, and participation.
