The time it takes

The child and specifically the girls' position in a global perspective is a theme that has always interested Gyllenhammar from the very first embroideries, where both the role of mother and the female identity associated with the home sphere are expressed. Books: The time it takes shows a variety of these motifs and the development from painting to the installation of embroidery on sails and canvas. The dress as an expression of innocence, beauty, vulnerability and initiation into the feminine space is also found in the earliest embroideries from the 2000s.
