[Mummu förlöser en ko. Mammas blick på pappas främmande närvaro med kameran, den frågar varför han fotar, ”Har du aldrig sett en kviga kalva??”.
 Hon är hemtam, nästan kamouflerad i miljön men något i hennes blick skriker. "TA MIG HÄRIFRÅN, låt mig uppleva något annat!" Nej fel, inget i mammas blick, inte i hela hennes väsen, ber om något, någonsin. Men den finns där, önskan.]

Loosely translated:
[Grandma assists a cow in giving birth. Mom's gaze at Dad's strange presence with the camera asks why he's taking pictures, "Have you never seen a heifer calve??". She is at home, almost camouflaged in the environment but something in her eyes screams. "GET ME OUT OF HERE, let me experience something else!” No wrong, nothing in Mom's look, neither in her whole being, asks for anything, ever. But it is there, the desire.]

The exhibition "Perinnösta ja halusta" (loosely translated "Heritage and Desire") portrays a private story about heritage and desire; having the possibility of another life and how this life can be understood in retrospect. It is a series of works that deal with Lisa Juntunen Roos’ interpretation of her mother's relationship to the world she comes from.

Statira Jazayeri

With techniques such as weaving and draping, Statira Jazayeri creates sculptural materials and large scale compositions of fabric. Her work moves between the draped as image, sculpture and spatial installation and is rooted in the fold’s potential to express rhythm, tension, direction and balance.

Alice Lund Textilier

What does it mean to continue? To carry something on that already has a long history. Alice Lund Textilier has created textile art and interior textiles for private and public environments around the world since 1936. Frida Lindberg has been the artistic director and owner of the studio since 2012. The exhibition at Fiberspace asks questions about continuation. How do we take care of a legacy and at the same time look ahead? How do we use history in a relevant and respectful way?

The Lone Wolf is a Herd Animal

The hollow was apparently ideal for berry picking.
Working on the uphill slope.
"It spares the back", he spoke from personal experience.
We lay side by side in silence among the sprigs.
The pines formed an exquisite wall around us
when the afternoon light threw in its long,
sun-warmed fingers that had just reached in
to the epicenter of lingonberry picking.
Four liters later we reluctantly proceeded home,
with damp trousers that had tasted the moss.

(Translated by Marcia Harvey Isaksson)

This poem is Sanna Haverinen’s sketch that opens to a free creative process. Through her method of writing, a system of hundreds of notes created through a sort of automatic writing, a new way of building images was born. Characters have emerged from the lyrics, all of whom are solitary but at the same time indispensable to each other. Screen printing is Haverinen’s method and the components are used in the same way as when she writes. For several years she has strived to be able to portray her Tornedalian background and culture, in a kind of everyday life in places where it can be far between like-minded people, but where life still passes in harmony with non-conformists.

Linnea Blomgren

In her exhibition "SUBGITTER: The underlying structure of reality", Linnea Blomgren presents a group of woven images. She describes her process as follows:

In my practice, the carpet is the starting point for making.
A process that slowly leads me on.
The examination gives me direction and speed, it keeps me moving when I examine the language of the fabric.
Simplicity, repetition, geometry, play and seriousness.

The carpet tells us about place, time and people. About our need for community, spatiality, aesthetics and materiality. "Subgitter" are the underlying structures that create conditions for the common language of the fabric in time and space, layer upon layer.

Mirjam Hemström

Moving between traditional craftsmanship and new technology, with inspiration from rugged coastal landscapes and with an interest in the spaces in-between, public spaces, and the places we long for, Mirjam Hemström is a weaver of space. Her exhibition at Fiberspace "The Metamorphosis of Weaving" shows her explorations.

With one foot in textile architecture and the other in yarn architecture, she has investigated macro- and micro-spatial properties in textiles. The project challenges the scale of hand-weaving and gives more power to the designer: designing everything, from the thread (rug rags and rope) to the 3D-weave. By illuminating craft details on a large scale, the course of events leading up to the result can be discerned and the viewer becomes aware of quality and the textile manufacturing process. Hemström wants to, through her work, encourage design for the senses and conversations about the experience of the objects around us.
