'Framtid/Future' Embroidery by Åse Ljones
“Embroidering takes time; it's a slow process that allows for silence. I seek silence. I can bring back memories and find new ways to go in the quietness. I often work with series, where small changes create a rhythm, tranquillity or excitement in my works.”

Measurements: W;38cm, H;38cm
Technique: "Hardangersaum" is a special form of embroidery from Ase's district. Formed of circular primhol stitches, they are a technique found in traditional Norwegian costumes from Hardanger, which she learned from her grandmother. Loosely translated as "queen stitch", the method creates miniature perforations across the fabric surface to expose the next layer of fabric beneath.
Care: Gently Dust
