Guðrún Ísafold Hilmarsdóttir - Ró
The trigger for the project had become irritable but it's a feeling I've just discoveredI wondered what I could do to calm my irritation down and that's crocheting In my project I'm crocheting in an unconventional way on a big and small scale In the Red Cross I noticed that used tights rarely went on resale and I thought they were ideal material to work with and I made yarn out of them The project Ró is my way of dealing with difficult emotions and reflects my mindset in the design process.
The inspiration for the project was the word irritation, a feeling I've recently discovered. I wondered what I could do to calm this irritation and discovered crocheting. In my project, I am crocheting in an unconventional way on a large and small scale. In the Red Cross, I noticed that used tights were more often not sold, so I thought they were an ideal material to work with and determined to make your from them. The project Ró (e. calm) is my way of dealing with difficult emotions and reflections my mindset in the design process.
