Photography as

inspiration

For Gitte-Annette, photography has always served as her primary source for providing ideas and making sketches for her creative textile projects. Her drawings and rugs always originate from photos that she has found from her extensive photo archive. Her favourite material is self-dyed sisal, but otherwise she loves the challenge of exploring different materials to find the one that is best suited to her current project.
