Exhibition in Lessebo!
The theme for the last two-year period was "BÄRBART" - a play on words that is not easy to translate. "Wearables", certainly, but also "carryables" (if that is a word).We found the theme a bit too broad, so we settled on tha last part, and made it BAGS instead.
Bags can be big, small, fancy, utilitarian - simple, elegant...
We have shown bags before. Some of these have been in earlier shows, some are old, but not shown and some are made specially for this exhibition.To the right: the poster. The title is another play on words...
Three new bags of the traditional emigrant bag model. The emigrant bag was called "homesickness",
and we included a worn and well-used one. Detail pictures of it can be found
here.
(More pictures from the homesickness-bags:
October, November
och December.)
A bench with carryalls. The black one has discarded videro tapes for weft.
Between the windows there are bigger bags in different materials.
Opposite there are more holdalls and a backpack.
The bag for fetching firewood is woven with rags.
