There, Katr\u00edn looks over her shoulder and highlights her research output on sea leather, while she is looking for new ways to the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In connection with the research, Katr\u00edn carried out numerous experiments with sea leather. She studied, among other things, the tanning of fish skin, colored it with natural dyes, treated it with natural oils, sewed it into the material and mixed it with other textiles. The work was also based on her research on cultural heritage and craft traditions related to the use of fish skin in the Arctic.<\/p>\n<p>In retrospect, these studies and experiments are taken forward and placed in a contemporary context The exhibition is at once a settlement to the research process and a search for where to go next The exhibition includes tests and garments made from vegetable-colored marine leather, along with insights into the research and design process behind them.<\/p>\n<p>The research continues after the show ends Katr\u00edn intends, among other things, to wear garments that have been dyed with natural dyes and document how they age and change over time. Thus, time itself becomes part of the research and the garments could later become research artifacts at a new exhibition.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chasing the skin into the ocean<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>, Gets sea leather in your arms. What to do with this? Hmmm... allows it to float and starts chasing it There, it drifts into the ocean, finds the kelp, meets the fish, finds a community of women in the sea to swim with through life Learns to love the sea. Then, taking time, meeting artisans from around the world. It chases to Japan and meets there another community of women who stick themselves into the ocean, know how to breathe like fish, get treasures there. Learns to free-dive, become free in the sea and life. Learns to dwell in the water, take time, allow natural processes to dominate the sea, the earth, the sky to feel more and listen more to the sea in the body, nature in the sea, in the process, in the sea, in the sea, in the process, we feel the sea, in the sea, in the process, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the way of the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the process of the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the process of the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the\u201c<\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">Text about an exhibition by Gu\u00f0bj\u00f6rga R.
