Lisa Tagesson is a Swedish artist, she visited TCG Nordica(Kunming,China) from 2008.June.1 to Aug.31.
Here is the introduction from artist self about what her works about and what she has done in Kunming.
I work with creating my own fabrics as well as with manipulating existing fabrics. I am interested in the integration of fabrics, the body and clothing. I create my own methods, using stitching to shape the fabric so that it has a special relationship to the body.
Important aspects in my work are craft work, knowledge of traditional techniques of costume-making and the Swedish tradition with connections to other countries. In my three month residencestudio at TCG Nordica, I worked with patterns made by pleating and folding techniques together with hand stitches and embroidery. I found a lot of inspiration in the textiles from Yunnan ethnic minorities.
I took part in Ms. Shasha’s project OVOP (One village one project) and hold a one day self portrait workshop with free embroidery.
