Synnøve Anker Aurdal: Through the Threads

By: Anker Aurdal, Synnøve

Blending Norwegian weaving traditions with modernist impulses, Anker Aurdal tested the materials, imagery and critical reception of textile art

By combining traditional craft techniques and the language of painterly abstraction, Synn ve Anker Aurdal (1908-2000) created a new space for modern textile art. Her works take on an effervescent character by featuring materials such as copper thread, polyester, fiberglass, nylon, chains and synthetic dyes, challenging both aesthetic hierarchies and modernist assumptions about weaving.
