Opening
Thursday, 15.01 at 6 – 8 PM
Lisa Englund (b. 1993), working under the name LIEN, is a Swedish textile artist from Västerås, currently based in Stockholm.
Englund works primarily with weaving and plant dyeing. By collecting mushrooms and plants to dye wool and linen yarns, she imbues her materials with what she describes as the magic of the forest, before weaving them into figurative textile works. Her practice explores borderlands between culture and nature, the sacred and the profane, the human and the animal, often drawing on folk beliefs and religious iconography.
LIEN holds a Master’s degree in Craft from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. Her work has been exhibited at Färgfabriken, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern and Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum.
