Ajan Jälki / “Trail of Time”
Wall rug for Helsinki Design Week 2019. Part of the Conundrum exhibition. Group work with Emilia Heikkinen and Maria Mielonen / 2019.
Ajan Jälki is a piece of art, which combines the traditional craftmanship with new aesthetics and art. The wall rug is made of excess textiles that are produced in our society massive amounts. The placement of the colours and forms is based on the passing of time on ground which shows as beautiful layers. The meaning of the piece is to awake thoughts of the trail we’re leaving to the world. In a space the piece works also as an acoustic element.
Ajan Jälki, that is made as a group work, was also displayed at Helsinki Design Week 2019 in the Conundrum exhibition. The exhibition was designed and executed in a larger group effort of the class.
The size of the wall rug is ~160cm x 300cm.
