2018 has already been a busy year for textile artist Kristina D. Aas whom we featured in 2016 (click here to read her interview). Firstly she won first prize at the 8th Annual Juried Exhibition at Gallery 110 in Seattle. And now she has a joint show ‘Garment Exchange.’ with  Karina N. Presttun. The artists met when they were studying at Bergen Academy of Art and Design and they both use textiles in their work. ‘Garment Exchange,’ explores the stories that clothes can have. The pair spent three months on the project which started by exchanging a garment that had significance to each artist. They then wrote a story about the garment and this became the basis for new art works. The results also include videos and textile collages.

Garment Exchange is open Saturday – Sunday 12 – 4pm until 29th April at Galleri Christinegaard in Bergen, Norway www.enterwine.no
