Hanne Friis. FLOM.

The Norwegian artist Hanne Friis is renowned for her monumental textile installations, which she hand-dyes and sculpts on-site through a time-consuming sewing technique.

With a small needle, Friis transforms the material by folding and pressing the fabric into organic forms and complex structures, providing an experience of change and growth, and a ambiguity between form and materiality.

The meticulous work of the hand creates sensory spaces with breathtaking leaps between the microcosm and macrocosm.

This summer, Kode will present a new site-specific installation by the artist at Lysverket.

Curator for the exhibition is Heidi Bjørgan.
