Iron tapestry belt
Combining ancient norwegian craft and modern technology, this project is my interpretation of a prophecy tapestry functioning as a belt. Using norwegian folklore, celtic weaving, and “bunad” jewelry” I created 12 set of illustrations mirroring the 12 months set from spring to winter, and from birth to death.
Put together, the 12 illustrations form a circle with the place of conception- the female stomach- as the center of rotation. This is similar to how the sun is the center of rotation that influences the changing of seasons. Moreover, similarly to medieval calendars, the tapestry forms a circle of completion. Used on the human body, the metal moves and becomes in many ways- alive- just as the passage of time is a living force.
