A collection of #BirchBark for weaving/crafting.

This birch was cut down when it broke after the storm. There is a pinkish foam on the cut site now, and I think it is still flowing birch sap!

Early summer, late spring; depends how you look at it. It’s the short but kinda magical time of the year when the birch trees start pushing out their leaves. Slow at first, showing the “mouse ears” (we call them hiirenkorvat in Finnish, ”nĂ€kyy hiirenkorvia” direct translation being “you can see the mouse ears”), but if you blink for too long you’ll miss it because once it gets going it blows up with green all over the place.

Throwback Saturday

Aska
Artist residency RicklundgÄrden, SaxnÀs (Sweden), 2017

Performance exploring the significance of the birch tree in northern Sweden. The ash from the fireplace fires we burned during our residency was collected and used performatively on the final day. Birch ash holds an important place in healing traditions and extracts of birch ash are still used for medicinal purposes today.
