Thank you Hilde!!
Ane is a maker but not only she also express her textile work
in a personal and thoughtful way. Her way of working is not only
about craft but artcraft. It allows her to make steps ahead.
Steps that the tradition doesn t allow.
When she is making, it is like meditating to her.
Wondering about the heritage, the work,
the time, the stories, the techniques with her helped me
to define a view on Norvegian craft.
When I look at the hardanger embroidery, it is so perfect, so precise
and delicate that it almost doesn t look human. This result is tied up
to the time consuming, but also to the way of learning.
In our nowaday society, in which we do not take the time anymore
and where we don t learn at school this special hand work we can wonder
if hardanger embroidery still fitting in our society the way it is.

"About you questions about tools I use is manly the needle and
pair of sharp (!) scissors, thats it, that makes is perfect for traveling.
I can do with out the lens loop even though I prefer it in the long run.
The sharp scissors is maybe the most important tool and thees scissor
s can be very decorative in them self shaped like birds or
just beautiful decorated. My scissors is plain and boring, only sharp."
Ane traveled with her small atelier and made
her embroidery work in different space.
Here it is in an airport.
