Elizabeth Salonen
is Mottoform. Pushing the limits of material and manufacturing processes, Salonen has built her international, award-winning design practice, Mottoform, to present narratives of materials, ways of making and even cultural change.
Her recent exhibition, Thread is a collection of modern artworks. Hand-embroidered meditations on canvas, designed to bring a feeling of lightness and quietude to interior spaces. Artwork that encourages a slower, more contemplative way of living.
“We live in an overstimulated society. Thread is about removing clutter, getting rid of excess, and creating artwork that encourages stillness and contemplation.” - Elizabeth Salonen
