Creating in Bookcases
Books are knowledge, memories, enlightenment and wisdom
– a sort of cultural backbone – magazines are too, in their own right.
They are the ‘fast kick’ that keeps your outlook updated.
VIBEKE ROHLAND
Textile Artist and Designer
COPENHAGEN
Vibeke Rohland feels that working on a lot of different projects
simultaneously and being alone in her space necessitates some
kind of order. Yet, she still likes to move things around from time to
time as she feels this makes her space come alive again. Visibility
is also important to her and the layout of her studio reflects this.
All kinds of objects, from paints and ornaments to customized,
co-created Adidas sneakers are on display. As a very tactile artist,
she likes to have easy access to all her things, her gems, her archives
that come in all sizes. For her, shelves and bookcases are not just
a way of ordering a space, they are changing tableaus that show her
cultural stance and passion. The items they display act as constant
reminders to keep her on track, or as she puts it: “They are small
scenes and stories from my life – and to display them makes them
more accessible – like an open book”.
