Skoven del 1 – vægstykke – Edith Hansen (EH)

Skoven del 1 – vægstykke – Edith Hansen (EH) fra Haandarbejdets Fremme. Et stemningsmættet vægstykke, hvor Edith Hansen arbejder med naturens strukturer i et stramt og moderne formsprog. Motivet viser tre træstammer med nøgne grene, placeret i et landskab, der er opdelt i farvefelter og geometriske flader. Skoven fremstilles ikke som et konkret sted, men som en rytme af former, linjer og overgange.

The composition is vertical and balanced. The tree trunks stand side by side, creating a clear rhythm across the surface, while the branches spread upward to form an open, graphic network. The landscape beneath the trees is divided into diagonal and horizontal fields, adding depth and movement and breaking the organic elements with a more constructed expression.

The colour palette is muted and harmonious. Brown and grey tones in the trunks are combined with green and blue hues in the landscape. Small patterned areas add variation and texture without dominating the overall impression. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a matte surface and ensures a clear yet calm colour rendition.

Linen 10B provides a stable and natural base, allowing both colour fields and stitches to stand out clearly. The fabric’s texture supports the graphic character of the motif and gives the wall piece a tactile, craft-based depth.

Forest Part 1 – wall piece – Edith Hansen (EH) can stand alone, but is also well suited as part of a series with the other Forest motifs. For retailers, the design represents a strong example of modern embroidery, where the nature motif is interpreted through form and structure, fitting naturally into assortments focused on Nordic design and timeless expressions.
