It could be that connection to another, deeper world is most easily experienced by artists. But really, anyone who\u2019s ever meditated, prayed, studied the stars, cooked an important meal for people they love, thrown a punch, received one, built something with their hands, learned a skill because they had no choice, been in service to others, volunteered their time, found themselves at the edge of their sanity or at the edge of their experience, accepted a difficult truth, put themselves second, genuinely gone out of their way for somebody else, has felt it. Connection is not the sole domain of artists, but art is a good way of understanding the fruit of that other place where commonality begins.\u2019 \u2014 Kae Tempest, On Connection\u00a0<\/em>(2020) London: Faber<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are from several generations of tailors from the city of Pau in the South West of France and from the rural island of Orust on the west coast of Sweden. Charlotte and \u2018Alma\u2019 Justina shared invisible labour behind the label \u2014 Charlotte as maker and Alma as farmer. Like Charlotte, Alma had to settle for invisible labour, her occupation marked on her gravestone as \u2018Hustrun\u2019 (the housewife) whilst her husband was titled \u2018Skr\u00e4ddaren\u2019 (the tailor).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Along the way, through our collaboration, we had fun running away with our ideas, then reigning them back in and settling for the visible.<\/p>\n

Video calls and flipped screens via Whatsapp<\/p>\n

simultaneous working<\/p>\n

on images on our computers<\/p>\n

Layers of tech screens and cameras opened up windows<\/p>\n

into each of our worlds\u2026.<\/p>\n

moments of considered distraction<\/p>\n

connecting the dots as they appeared<\/p>\n

in the far layer of our living spaces,<\/p>\n

bringing background into foreground<\/p>\n

time, space and environments collapsing into our collaboration.<\/p>\n

Allowing our connections to run riot.<\/p>\n
