Dorothy Wedderburn

the recipient of the 

Art´n Fiber® Residency Fellowship 2023

The motivation by the selection committee:

" Dorothy Wedderburn is a widely exhibited member of the European fiber art community. The outcome of her work indicates a solid and broad artistic and technical skill in design and composition as well as methods such as fabric printing, dyeing, stitching, layering and embroidery. Her current source of inspiration is the tactile qualities of cloth and the history embedded in worn cloth. During the residency, Wedderburn

will focus on the clues and traces transmitted to her through the cloth with the purpose of creating a sort of layered collages by applying methods of overprinting with silkscreen and hand or machine stitching. An appreciated additional value to this residency is the plan to involve members of the local fiber art community for a mutual exchange in a workshop.
We are looking forward to learning more about Wedderburn’s artistic practice and the presentation of her work to audiences in Uppsala."

Fabia Delise

the recipient of the

Art´n Fiber® Residency Fellowship 2022

The motivation by the selection committee:

"Fabia Delise is a technically proficient textile artist with an independent approach to a

specific classic patchwork

technique called

“English Paper Piecing”. She is

not bound to the traditional technique but anchored in it

which makes her artwork contemporary, exploratory, innovative, and aesthetically appealing. In her application for

the residency Art ‘n Fiber® she

also describes curiosity and interest in the residency as well as its surroundings of Storvreta and Uppsala. The examples given

by her about the purpose of her

stay awoke our interest and curiosity."
