Whirring - The Joy Formidable


life keeps us trudging at the worst points in life, the tempo only ascends and we learn very quickly to deal with difficulty… thank God for this group, they’re an incredible influence in my life, and made my mornings nearly perfect while in Boston, and they are doing a damn fine job now. 

and the award for best Outro of all time goes to these guys and gals; I will not stop loving this song even though it’s been stuck in my head since last year.

Knitted skulls, by Hildur Bjarnadottir

” When I was four years old my mother taught me how to knit, crochet and sew. I was raised immersed in a textile environment. My mother was a knitting and sewing teacher, and I would constantly be knitting or making crafts.

One thing my mother did not teach me was to follow patterns; everything I made she had me design myself. The line between art and craft is hazy, and is based on context as well as concept.

In my art I explore this fine line between decorative, usable crafts and conceptual art. My work takes the focus from the usefulness and beauty that textiles are generally connected with and places it more on simple techniques and the inherent properties of the materials. I work with as well as against the materials and traditional textile rules.” – Hildur Bjarnadottir
