Loji Höskuldsson

Inquiry

Bio

Höskuldsson’s process is excruciating slow, days and months, stich by stich, small (20 x 25 cm) and large-scale (170 x 300 cm) compositions appear on burlap, giving him ample time to reflect on the subject matter at hand. This meditative creative process is embedded in the final work, encouraging an intuitive contemplative response from the viewer. Slowing our cognitive response to the work and leaving space for a more tactile relationship and reading. It’s a form of story telling founded in a craft tradition, but harnessed to explore current issues. A kind of Dogme approach to making contemporary art.
