Investigated plastic waste

In spring 2017 I was an artist in residency in Kjøllefjord, Norway for 6 weeks. During my artist in residence I investigated the possible use materials found in the local environment in textile design and art. I soon became aware of the fact that in the north of Norway they are also challenged with plastic waste, as the Faroe Islands is. This is a global issue.
