“We employ materials and techniques connected to the world of textiles but our works of art represent and refer merely to graphic arts, painting and sculpturing. Our multi-discipline approach provides new views e.g. to the physical forms of the pieces and they are not limited by frames. The material is distinct and apparent, proceeding freely as a line, colour or volume, and by doing that creating an open space.
Marian Bijlenga makes precise observations about visual rhythms and relations of forms and calls her works as “spatial drawings”. Her mostly abstract pieces are composed with mathematical precision by using delicate details that grow to spacious universes of forms. Marian lives and works in Amsterdam and exhibits around the world.
Raija Jokinen visualizes the borderline between the mental and physical surrounding. She use figurative and abstract expression and combine body related details with other natural forms, though modifying them to something that resembles neither of them. Raija lives and works in Helsinki and Sipoo and exhibits mostly abroad.
Malena Karlsson presents mystical tones that make us forget our natural need to recognize or name forms and materials and by doing that she takes us to a space that is unrecognizable but still so familiar. Her works are extremely slow to make but that’s one of the charm of them. Malena lives and works in Southern Sweden exhibiting mainly in Sweden.”
