Pia Ferm (SE)

Pia Ferm employs an array of materials and methods in her practice, from weaving and tufting to stone and marbles sculpting. Ferm often builds her own large, mid-sized and small looms, both for woven and tufted works, as well as sourcing and at times dying her own yarn. An accomplished drawer and colorist, she often starts out with a sketch, watercolour and/or drawing as the foundation for each new work. Creating textile work that is incredibly complex and layered, both figuratively and metaphorically, Ferm’s work encourages pause and reflection.

Pia Ferm (b. 1986, Lysekil; SE) lives and works in Frankfurt, Germany. Ferm is educated at the Staedel Schule in Frankfurt. Recent exhibitions include: Saskia Neuman Gallery (Stockholm; SE), Galeriehaus Nord (Nuremberg; DE), Frankfurter Kunstverein (Frankfurt; DE), Naussauischer Kuntverein Wiesbaden (Wiesbaden; DE), Museum Villa Rot (Burgrieden; DE).
