Astrid Krogh

Overview
Astrid Krogh
"Concerning the patterns in the universe I think I was on the wrong track looking for a specific kind of order. I am slowly learning, both from life and through my eyes, that maybe the order is different than expected."  
— Astrid Krogh, in conversation with Dr. Margaret Geller, at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Harvard, USA
Astrid Krogh is widely considered one of the most pioneering artists in the intersecting field of light and textile installations. Already by the end of the 1990s, Astrid Krogh, a graduate from the textile faculty at the Danish Design School, combined her textile design skills, technological know-how and state-of-the-art materials in creating monumental optical fiber weavings that she made for museum exhibitions and site-specific commissions. Krogh’s point of departure from conventional textile design was not merely her fascination for light, but also her attraction to shape-morphing objects and shifting colorways. "I use light as both a material and a technology", Krogh explains. "The presence of light is an essential component of my work. Light enables my textiles to pulsate, change patterns and create an entire spectrum of ever-changing colorways."
