A felted fabulation of vǫlur

Sammanfattning

In a composition of sculptures and smaller artifacts, this project seeks to explore the speculative growth of the Nordic Sorceress, The Fyrkat Vǫlva, with the organic aesthetics and water-based methods of the technique, Nuno felting. The project deals with Nordic femininity and magic by exploring the historical knowledge drawn from the grave of The Fyrkat Vǫlva. The technique, Nuno felting, functions as a speculative tool to explore the past, present and future of The Fyrkat Vǫlva. The sculptures are accompanied by a speculative fabulated text drawing on the artist's own thoughts on growing up in the area of the grave.
