Knit objects inspired by the beatiful and dangerous creatures of the ocean – the jellyhish. 

I see them as the otherworldly dancers of the sea, with innumerable variations in patterns, shapes, colors and moods to which I give artistic expression through knitwork. These peculiar beings remind me that comfort is deeply intertwined with hurt when we remember and sense all layers of life. 

Literally and philosophically, the layers of the jellyfish are meditations of what is visible and what lies hidden to us in the dark, of beauty and the pain that we need contemplation and quietude to embrace. 

The exhibition was kindly supported by Statens Kunstfond and most of the work was made at danish Art workshops.

Officinet Bredgade 66 1260 Copenhagen Officinet is room for contemporary crafts and design featuring crossover projects within crafts, design, architecture and art, run by Danish Crafts & Design association.
