Loji Höskuldsson (IS)

In his work, Loji Höskuldsson explores new and traditional methods of embroidery, a technique he inherited from his mother who is a professional seamstress and embroidery expert. His main thematic interest lies in still lifes, with a focus on everyday objects and the exploration of subtle, poetic situations within domestic settings. Showing a unique blend of nostalgia, irony and sincerity, Höskuldsson’s works are humorous and playful, elevating the more tedious aspects of sewing and craftwork to a place of joy and personal connection.
