Great Grandmother’s Tattoos, 2025
230 × 150 cm
Digital illustration printed on cotton, hand-sewn, viscose fringes, hand-painted and carved wooden beam. Sewn by Jonas Jönsson

The work begins with the only surviving photograph I have of my great-grandmother’s tattoos. From this image, I redraw, enlarge, and reposition the tattoo patterns until they become the structure of the carpet itself. The work draws on traditions within my clan of making textiles from found and available materials. By reimagining these practices through contemporary technologies, including digital drawing, printing, and sewing, I explore how they can be transformed, continued, and developed into new forms in the future.
