Profile
I recently completed my PhD project on textile as a material and medium in the history of art and images. The ambition of the project was to characterise textile and its properties and potentialities for mediating images. This also includeded an objective to uncover textile’s diverse abilities to affect us whenever we interact with fabrics and fibres – something we do every day.
As part of the project, I have carried out different studies of both historical and contemporary textiles. In my PhD thesis, my research material was from the Western European Late Middle Ages.
