Bio:
During the 1970s, Swedish textile art saw a renewed appreciation for folk traditions and handweaving. The rölakan technique, originally used for rugs and runners, was adapted into expressive wall hangings featuring both geometric and figurative motifs. These works combined bold colour schemes with the craftsmanship and creativity characteristic of Scandinavian design.
