Annika Berglund's 'Tapestry' opens at Olivier Cornet Gallery on Sunday 17 November 2024

The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to present 'Tapestry', Annika Berglund's new solo show.

In a recent interview with The Gloss magazine, the artist explained that "the work in “Tapestry” is not woven, but the theme centres on the basic elements of weaving, the warp and the weft. The warp encompasses the constants that create a baseline or continuity for life; which will always be with you, for good or bad. The weft, the threads that go across the warp, grow the fabric with each new addition. They pull together the weave and constantly create new patterns. These are events, people and circumstances that come and go; their contribution growing the weave and creating complexity, whether they just make a single appearance or are part of a recurring pattern.

In parallel and as a light relief from the work for “Tapestry” I have been working on a collection of jewellery combining felt with thrifted vintage beads. This work seemed to grow in parallel and in synergy with the Tapestry pieces, so I am showing them in a side exhibition in the gallery."

All welcome to the opening at 3pm on Sunday 17 November 2024.
