Arts and Craft: Celia Pym’s Darned Sweaters

Check out this cool Norwegian sweater, which is a finalist in the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize competition and on display in New York’s Chamber Gallery. I noticed it on art critic Black Gopnik’s blog. Gopnik writes:

The British artist Celia Pym has taken a decrepit old Norwegian sweater and darned it back into useable shape. It escapes the tired old idea that craft has to be about fancily made fancy things, which still governs a shocking number of objects in the Loewe show. Pym’s darning is indeed done by hand, so it speaks to the craft tradition, but it is more about function and meaning and feeling than technique.

Britta Marakatt-Labba (b. 1951, Idivuoma, Sweden)

- Historja

(2003–07)

Embroidery, print, appliqué, and wool on linen

Britta Marakatt-Labba was born in Idivuoma, outside of Kiruna in northern Sweden, Growing up with a deep knowledge of the collective practice of reindeer husbandry (her parents and her husband are rein-deer herders), this sense of movement and migration permeates her textile works. A defining feature of Historja is its undulating horizon line. A procession of animals emerges from the woods in a procession; first foxes, then bears, then ungulates (all holy for Sámi), then the first people emerge following the reindeer, first on foot and then on sleds. An entire history is on view, one that begins and ends with Sámi cosmology, in between are different formations of people, who are herding animals, tending to crops and cattle, drying fish. Yet they are also engaged in other Important activities as well: revolting against oppressive authorities (the 1851 Kautokeino uprising) as well as gathering together for political self-determination (marked by the first assembly in Sámi Parliament). This is not a linear history, there are deliberate breaks, shifts in style and content It can be read from right to left or left to right, the storyline generatively shifting with each subsequent view.
