The Ocean Weaver
The Oceanweaver is a brand by the textile artist and designer Karina Siegmund. Karina loves experimenting with different techniques within weaving, weaving technology, and materials and she believes the way they are all put together, creates just the right language and mood, that she captures outside, in nature.
Karina Siegmund works out of her studio based in western coastline of Norway. The artist says that the ocean, it’s coastal landscape and living by the sea, poses an endless catalogue of inspiration for her design projects and art shows. With sheep grazing freely, surfers enjoying the heavy sea and saltwater in the air, silence is to be found walking in the midst of a rich cultural heritage, among old viking tales, forming the essence of her woven fibre art and design works.
Karina is a visual artist creating weavings that bring nature closer to you. Her work acts like nature’s ambassador – dazzling with its beauty, striving to provide a free space for everyone – a mental space where a person can get a break. Just like in nature.
