Johanna Ulfsak weaves this thematic thread into her practice, paying homage to the age-old craft traditionally deemed women’s work, while fine arts, in its classical milieu, remained a domain reserved for men. With meticulous dedication, she carves the wooden frames for her woven canvases by hand—redefining the space where gender and artistry intersect. Her works invite viewers to engage not only with image and material, but with a layered narrative of labour, tradition, and authorship.
