ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Ellen Dynebrink (b.1986) is a textile artist based in Gothenburg. Ellen's focus on patchwork in particular derives from her love for the textile material and interest in the relationship between the textile field and women’s history. With her practice she seeks to explore values and preconceived notions in feminine coded expressions and techniques. Throughout Ellen’s work there is an ongoing investigation of the gap between the production of images and representation, and the relationship between the gaze and the image, with following questions about subjectivity. By using digital tools, she edit and convert photos and sketches which in later hand are sewn into patchwork. Digital distortions combined with the inherent limitations and specific conditions of the patchwork technique, and the characteristics of the textile material adds to the aesthetic outcome, offering further filtration of abstraction and alternative readings of the patchwork image. Even the monotonous process of cutting squares apart and sewing them together forms a central part of Ellen’s artistic language and expression – a kind of meditation on the material and a way to ”participate in” or ”lose herself in” the image.

In 2017 Ellen received a MFA in Textile Art from HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg, and in 2014 a BFA in Textile Design from The Swedish School of Textiles. Between 2019-2020 she undertook studies at the post-master class Research Lab CRAFT! at Konstfack, University of Art, Craft and Design.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums both nationally and internationally; Format Gallery (Oslo), Konstepidemin (Gothenburg), Charlottenborg Kunsthall (Copenhagen), 3e våningen/GIBCA Extended (Gothenburg), Gustavsberg Konsthall (Värmdö), Nina Sagt Gallery (Düsseldorf).
