Graduating from the Kolding School of Design in 2007 with an MA in Jacquard knitting techniques and conceptual textile structures, Danish artist Signe Emdal has fifteen years of experience with both handwoven and digital textile art, ranging from fashion textiles to complex art tapestries. Emdal characterizes herself as a textile composer, transforming emotions and ambiences into tangible textile structures, inspired by ancient textiles, art history, historical studies and feminism.
Emdal trained at the Designskolen in Kolding, Denmark, where she specialized in Jacquard knitting techniques and conceptual structures. Emdal has exhibited internationally with notable exhibitions including the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen; Gallery Direktorenhaus, Berlin; National Museum of Iceland, Reykjavík; and most recently at the Homo Faber exhibition “Crafting a More Human Future” (2022) at the Fondazione Cini in Venice. Her works have recently been acquired by Malmö Museum, Malmö, Sweden and the Statens Kunstfond, Denmark.
