My name is Ina G. Dyreborg and I’m the textile artist behind this colorful universe!
I am a self taught carpet maker with a background in clothing, product development, urban development, cultural work and design strategy. I have a Bachelor in Living Design from Kea Design and Business.
I started my carpet journey in 2013 when I wanted a rug but couldn’t find anything that was right for me, and after a long search the idea of creating it myself began to manifest itself. Then I started looking for ways to make rugs and it was the Danella needle, a small hand held tool, that helped start my journey as a textile artist.
From there it was about getting to know the tool, exploring its possibilities and limitations and refining my technique. I tested yarn types and canvases for the tufting until I found the materials that suited my style and temper.
For me, it was important from the start that the rugs should be more than a carpet, it should inspire and make you want to explore the tactile. The mirrors helped to create an extra function but at the same time provide a good contrast. There is something poetic about the hard versus soft, and the mirror that captures the light and provides space along with the rug that swallows sounds and creates a sense of calmness.
My universe is sensual, colorful and full of humor and vitality. My work revolves around how sexuality, admiration, joy, fear and anger interfere disruptively in our lives and provide dynamic and energy.
