Humming - Sonja Löfgren-Birch - HOP galerii

Humming

What shape does the soundscape from the train have? What feeling does the structure of a yarn communicate? Which colour would you use to visually describe a caress?

Recent years my embroidery has been transforming from representational to abstract. My most recent works are visual associations, shapes, lines and colours that often resemble a landscape or a sensitive impression but also hold fragments of pattern and reference to woven structure. 

I have previously collaborated in joint exhibitions at HOP both in 2013 and 2019. This time I’ll return to the beautiful gallery space on my own.

Sonja Löfgren-Birch is a Finnish textile artist living in Stockholm since 2015. Her work has been exhibited in Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, France and South Korea. She holds a MFA in Craft from Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm and two Bachelor degrees in Media and Design.
