Loji Höskuldsson, IS

Loji Höskuldsson’s process is excruciating slow, days and months, stitch by stitch, small (20 x 25 cm) and large-scale (170 x 300 cm) compositions appear on burlap, giving him ample time to reflect on the subject matter at hand.

This meditative creative process is embedded in the final work, encouraging an intuitive and contemplative response from the viewer. Slowing our cognitive response to the work leaves space for a more tactile relationship and reading of the work. It is a form of story telling founded in a craft tradition, but harnessed to explore current issues. A kind of Dogme approach to making contemporary art.
