About Birgitta Nordström

I am a textile artist and a doctoral candidate in Craft at HDK-Valand, Academy of Craft and Design, University 91̽»¨. The research is focusing on woven textiles used for funerals or in situations of perinatal loss. Keywords in my investigation are infant shrouds, weaving, textile action, care taking and dignity. I collaborate with parents that have experienced losing a small child and with clinical staff at medical wards.
