“It was owing to the fog that night came upon him.”

Owed to the fog is a family of containers aimed to exist one within the other. Shading from white to dark, these pieces are a ceremony dedicated to local climate variations: light, mist and darkness. Made out of seal guts and seal skin, they investigate the particular process of hand sewing techniques used in the making of the traditional Greenlandic costume.

materials: seal skin, seal gut, waxed thread
dimensions: ø 15,5 x 15 cm, ø 32,5 x 15 cm, 15,5 x 34 x 15 cm
