Lærke Lillelund — Textile Artist

“My work is inspired by the ways in which systems are created through modules, shapes and structures. By combining these strict geometric forms with the soft nature of the textile, my work reads as if it is alive or organic in nature.”

About:

With a built up base of skill and knowledge from her work with set and costume design, objects for museums and backdrops for fashion shows, the personal explorations of Danish textile artist Lærke Lillelund present as a series of experiments into materials, treatments and systems. Inspired by traditional Japanese shibori techniques combined with heat-setting and manipulating fabric into 3-dimensional forms, her body of work builds on traditional crafts through the merging of digital and hand-printing on silk and polyester textiles. Working from her private studio in Islands Brygge and a larger shared work space in Copenhagen’s inner city, Lillelund utilises contemporary laser cutting and 3D printing techniques to bring a life-like three-dimensionality to her creations – their fluid and organic structures built on extensive research into how systems and modular components can be combined to create pulsating textile organisms that shrink and expand according to Lillelund’s wants and needs. She combines a depth in form with a colour palette that is both intuitive yet contextual to the inherent qualities of each textile, resulting in a body of work that is colourful and eclectic yet complementary and considered.
