Sia Hurtigkarl — Designer

“I would say my work is mainly focused on humans – human culture, rituals, crafts, human rights even. It is quite human centred. I am very drawn to craftsmanship because of the large shared base of knowledge it contains. I believe it has a precious value now and into the future.”

About:

Working from a combination of cocooned private studio and open industrial workspace on Amager in Copenhagen’s south, the work of designer Sia Hurtigkarl oscillates between smaller human scaled works and larger installations. A strong focus within her outcomes is utilising her training as a designer and craftsperson across various mediums and scales, whilst challenging the meaning and breadth of what textile design and craft is and can be in the future. She combines strong notions of craft with a deep connection to story-telling – referencing the traditions of textiles to portray historical stories into contemporary narratives about culture, craft and locality. She embraces the challenges of navigating cultural awareness and appropriation – uniting her own heritage with those of the craftspeople she collaborates alongside. A holistic and transparent work practice creates a strong dialogue throughout her entire process, with work that is often intended to provoke and provide introspection within the viewer or user.
