Abstract
“Landscape Dialogues” is my examination of textile expression as a dialogue between rug design and high latitude landscapes. The inspiration arises from my encounters with both Finnish as well as Icelandic landscapes and therefore, entails making sense of my own perception as an outsider. The purpose of this examination is to create an aesthetic representation that expresses my encounter with these distinctive landscapes. Using the technique of hand tufting as my means of expression, I translate my perception of these landscapes into carpets. My challenge is to use hand tufting as a medium where upon my experience can be illustrated.
The focus of my examinations lays in the historical and phenomenological development of landscape perception. Also, a review of hand-tufted carpets and their artistic significance is included. The practical outcome is a hand-tufted rug illustrating my explorations. The hand-tufted carpet was made in Iceland through experimentation with Icelandic wool.
