Karen Modrei

My name is Karen Modrei and I am currently studying in my master CRAFT! Textile at Konstfack in Stockholm. My background spans from having learned the craft of bespoke tailoring to my bachelor which I did in architecture at Bauhaus-Universität in Weimar, Germany. Both disciplines share the human body as a center piece of its aspirations, constructing space and providing function for its inhabitants. I work with textile on the borders of its actual application in society. I use material that is not commonly applied for creating textile and I often use scale and format, that does not fit our biased image. With my work I push forward a yet unwritten definition of textile that will have an impact on how to look at, value and work with it.
