Sew up｜Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri｜Exhibition Introduction

I work mainly with textile objects and installations. My artwork is concerned with human situations and often reflects or depicts clothing, either in form, materials, or both. Clothes, being intimately related to the body, are directly connected to mankind and therefore a natural conduit for human stories. I employ clothing and textiles as a means of communication, freed from their basic function as body coverings.

The textiles we wear form a boundary between the individual and the outside world. Clothes are « the meeting point between the private and the public », writes Entwistle in the book The Dressed Body. Despite the thin, fragile properties of textiles, they constitute a considerable boundary and protection, while communicating information about the individual and how he or she interacts with society. My object is to reveal the person under the clothing, the individual's mental or emotional state.
