Emma Hasselblad Swedish, b. 1991

Emma Hasselblad (b. 1991, Stockholm, Sweden) is a textile artist whose
artistic practice evolves around hand knitting as the main technique. She
explores knitting in relation to body, architecture, history and knitting
traditions. Emma knits three-dimensional sculptures, spatial designs,
two-dimensional representational images, wearable and non-wearable
garments. The choice of knitting as a practice is based on the techniques
ability to examine shapes, silhouettes, different textures, colours and colour
combinations. She explores the possibilities inherent in knitting: the flexible,
stretchy material that the knitted fabric allows. Emma lives and works in
Stockholm, Sweden.
