Textile for today

  • • Anne is an experienced weaver
  • • She believes craftsmanship should never be dogmatic
  • • Her textiles aim to meet the demands of the present day

Textiles and weaving techniques have always been of great interest to Anne Andersson, who first encountered a large loom at the age of 17. “It filled the whole room and it absolutely fascinated me. It was at that moment that I realised the difference between handicraft and craftsmanship.” Building on this new perspective, Anne embarked on an apprenticeship with Annedore Iwersen and attained the rank of master of her craft in 1990. In order to further develop her aesthetic language she then studied graphic design. Today, Anne's work can be understood as textile graphics, creating the illusion of a third dimension with strong structures of warp and woof.
