Elisabeth Johansson has previously taken part in ArtsNordica exchange projects Love Protection and Sustainable Love (see above picture, Love Protection 2007, quilts by Elisabeth Johansson and Anneli Linder). Now she shows her art at Kapitän in a solo exhibition.

Bubbles, Knots and Canvas - Artist introduction
The bubbles represent a structure of wool fabric that is woven of fur wool yarn, woven and post-treated with soap and water.

Canvas is a binding with broken pattern that occur frequently in curtains or as foundation material to embroider covering embroidery on. Here, I have used the binding of coarse linen for small carpets.

The rya knots which are so fun to make, I have made of wool, paper- and plastic cords for carpets and decorations.
