About Khrysos ( words by Galerie Maria Wettergren ):

For Khrysos, meaning ‘spirit of gold’ in Ancient Greek, Signe Emdal was inspired by the delicate fragility of the mimosa flower. Just a single touch will destroy the flower. Created using Emdal’s signature fusion technique, TOUCH, the vibrant textile work is a merge of Icelandic unspun wool fibers and Turkish carpet knots transformed into subtle layers of fur-like shades of poetry, reflecting human body energy layers and body memory from physical interactions.
