Mari Ulland

(She/her)
Address: Villa Romsli, Romsli vev og fargeri, Odvar Solbergsvei 83, 0973 Oslo
Floor: -1
The studio is open Saturday 27 April from 12-17

Based in the textile medium I work with technique, precision and construction. I often use systems as a tool for framing my projects:
-Textile grids arranged in layer upon layer in piles and in folds, build up landscapes and sculptures. The installations are structures that create movement in perspective and in colour.
Each piece is build on site, formed by the space´ qualities of both resistance and inspiration. The works are temporary and unique for each display.
In the loom my weavings origin from basic weaving techniques. I seek to find the techniques own language, freed from the traditional use.

In my studio

We are four textile artists who work in a beautiful spacious atelier previously used as a canteen in Villa Romsli. Visitors will experience a weaving workshop with different types of looms and techniques. In addition, I will be active in the studio’s dye shop, where I dye textiles, yarn and wood.
