The Australian Tapestry Workshop was delighted to present international-renowned tapestry weaver Annika Ekdahl to talk about the inspiration for her tapestries.
Annika Ekdahl (born 1955 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a textile artist who designs tapestries marrying Renaissance and Baroque practices with more modern techniques, creating large-scale works in her own contemporary style. Her works can take up to one and one-half years to complete as she weaves contemporary imagery of animals, people, places into her narrative designs. She describes the process as much like writing a novel, weaving the story with traditional methods but utilizing a modern approach including digital techniques. She has exhibited in Europe, China and Australia and was the 2013 Nordic Textiles Awardee.
This lecture took place at the Australian Tapestry Workshop on Friday 12 July 2019.
