These amphora shaped vases were created for an exhibition in Paris in 2017. As a reference to Paris as the city of fashion, Carine’s vases were inspired by models on the catwalk. Women bodies nowadays are actively commodified in the same way, in a sense, as vessels. The vases were handcrafted in different types of wool, silk fibres, linen fibres and handmade paper.

In recent years, Carine’s work has focused on recreating everyday objects in textiles using the felting technique. This oversized set, composed of a jar and a bowl, were inspired by antique vessels used for washing. Fine merino wool combined with raw silk fibres make these objects an intriguing pair, the silk giving the objects a golden shine.
