This is one of three works I made for Narvik School in 2021. “Twins” is a jacquard woven piece measuring 2,1x3m. The inspiration was a collection of selfies taken by my daughter that was 13 years old at the moment when images were taken. She painted her face in these tattoo-like brushes writing: “smile” and “live” on her cheeks. I made several sketches and worked on the composition and bindings of the colour fields. Technically, I had to take care of the wall's acoustic properties and find a clever way of joining the woven pieces together as the width of the woven surface was 1,5 for each panel. The artwork was installed in January 2022.
