Dorte Østergaard Jakobsen

Overordnet udfordrer jeg i min kunstneriske praksis, hvordan tekstilhåndværk og -traditioner kan gentænkes i den tekstile flade. Hvordan overflader opbygges lag på lag. Hvordan mønstres rytmik breder sig til nye mønsterdannelser, som igen danner nye konstellationer med rummets egne flader og materialer. Tekstilets spændvidde er rygraden i min praksis, og mødet mellem krop og tekstil er afgørende i mine tekstile rum.
