Relations with nature and unique handweaving by artist and designer Christina Christensen.

After graduating as a fashion designer in 2006, at the age of 22, I stepped into the fast-paced commercial textile industry. My first supplier visits to India and Turkey left a profound and lasting mark on both my mind and my work. Witnessing firsthand the conditions under which textiles and other products are produced proved to be a powerful revelation. Since then, my journey and purpose have been deeply rooted in responding to these experiences.

Back in 2018, when I threaded my first loom, it was a moving experience – as if I had done this many times before, in a previous life.

My first weavings led to my debut as an artist at the Biennale for Craft and Design in Copenhagen 2019. Since then my curiosity about weaving and art has guided me in a direction where my craft and my intuition have room to grow.

Deadstock, offcuts, plants/flora and other often overlooked materials are my go-to materials. I’m motivated by holding a discarded material in my hand, asking: what do you want? What story do you want to tell? To me, using what already exists is an act of care for nature and people.

I am deeply inspired by the phenomena of nature and by all the things we take for granted around us. I invite people to reconsider the value of what we discard: in nature, in materials and in craft. I encourage to embrace perfect imperfections while challenging conventional ideas of tradition, value, and beauty.
