TEXTILE AND FASHION DESIGNER TINA BORUM CREATES ARTWORKS AND RUGS FROM RECLAIMED FISHING ROPES COLLECTED FROM THE DANISH FISHING INDUSTRY. HER WORKS BEAR THE COLOURS AND PATINA OF A PREVIOUS LIFE, WHERE SALTWATER, SUN, AND YEARS OF USE HAVE LEFT THEIR BEAUTIFUL MARKS. THESE TRACES FORM AN INTEGRAL PART OF EACH WORK'S STORY, REFLECTING A CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO TRANSFORM AND REINTERPRET EXISTING MATERIALS RESPONSIBLY RATHER THAN ALLOWING THEM TO BE DESTROYED.
“EACH WORK IS A SYMBOL OF LIFE.
LIFE AS A JOURNEY... A CONSTANT MOVEMENT...
IN REPETITIONS... IN CIRCLES...
INTERRUPTED BY LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCES...
AND ULTIMATELY BROUGHT TOGETHER IN HARMONY AND BALANCE.
INSPIRED BY MY OWN LIFE IN EVERY ASPECT.”

THE KNOT
The tangled life.
Or perhaps just a designer's knot.
Life.
Like a long, endless rope.
Stretching in countless directions.
At times, a fast lane.
At times, complete stillness.
A turn to the right.
A new experience.
A turn to the left.
A familiar place revisited.
In circles.
A choice.
A choice rejected,
or a choice embraced.
A reunion.
A farewell.
A stroke of luck.
An injustice.
A condition of life.
Everything connected.
Always striving for balance.
…
Life often holds many lives,
if only we are given enough time to explore them all.
