Visited the #AmericanSwedishInstitute today for the exhibit "Handwoven: Between Chaos and Order" by Emelie Röndahl. She weaves "rya", a form of weaving that results in a sheepskin-like appearance. Traditionally the fuzzy side was down for warmth while the decoration was more legible on the flat side, but Röndahl plays with this convention. Here's both sides of a large work. One artifact of photographing the work is the contrast of the flat side is heightened-- it is more subtle to the unassisted eye.
