Mimi Forrest

Graduate of London’s famous Central St Martins School of Art & Design, Mimi Forrest’s work has received critical acclaim. Shortlisted for several awards, her work is defined by a curiosity and love of new places teamed with the traces, tears, peels, layers and colours of fragmented manner.

Copenhagen-based visual artist Signe Emdal is known for innovative weaving techniques and is represented in the permanent collections of Malmø Art Museum in Sweden and The collection of the Danish Art Foundation. The carpet loom is at the core of Signe’s process, an object that is interlinked with memories and works as a continuous loop of mind and motion.

Signe’s archive of textural woven sculptures and tapestries are a display of vibrancy, volume and breathtaking colour combinations, such as those from the Loop (2020) and Ecdysis (2024) series. A deep thinker, the techniques explored throughout her work are linked with themes of femininity and cultural history.

Working on site-specific pieces alongside her exhibition showcases, Signe has mastered how textiles interplay with spaces derived from cultural heritage. It is through this expertise that Emdal is able to create highly unique work that fuses weaving processes, a unique illustrative style with material tactility.
