Sofia Bahlner. Installation: Experimania, 2021. Various textile materials from a load of fibers and manly waste materials.. 3 x 3 x 1.8 cm. Statement: Structures and surfaces have always been my focal point in all kinds of projects. My starting point is the creation of the details on the surface and I work my way through the piece using a practice-based method that takes me beyond my initial idea and leads me to creations of tactile structures I couldn’t have imagined beforehand. It fascinates me to see how materials and techniques can be mixed, manipulated, joined, and misapplied to create unexpected elements and to make it challenging for the viewer to understand how it is made or what it consists of, in order to awaken curiosity in textiles. Coming from the fashion field, I still hold on to the haute couture approach and work with time-consuming handwork but in the degree exhibition, I have chosen to materialise it through a spatial installation, letting carpet meet sculpture. I see my work as a giant swatch sample, a patchwork of inspiration, or as an objectified research book, where parts of the piece can be selected as an individual artwork or as a starting point for a new project.Unique piece..
