Anne Bjørn Farewell

At present, the theme in my work is “family boxes/pictures”.
I use my old family photographs in a blend with events from my own life and time, working with double exposure in the photographs. The
stories are literally “woven together”, the weaving technique is
incorporated as ornamentation in the picture.
Earlier I used weaving in my work to make a very structured canvas.
In family pictures, I incorporate the weave structure as an integral
part of the expression/composition of the picture to a much greater
extent than was the case earlier.
I magnify the technique in selected areas of the picture, in order to
accentuate what is universal of any given time; that we are woven
together genetically, familiarly and historically on a smaller and larger
scale.
