Encounter · A note from Ole
Someone takes a drawing out for a walk. It enters a street, a conversation, a place I have never been.
The garment leaves the studio, but its story keeps changing. The person wearing it brings their own life to it: where they go, whom they meet, what happens that day.
For me, wearable art opens the work to encounters beyond an exhibition room. A musician takes it on stage. A couple packs it for a trip. Someone wears it at home. There is no single right setting.
One of the best parts of UKENA is receiving photographs, reactions and stories from you. A work turns up somewhere unexpected. Someone sees something in a drawing that I had not seen. That exchange becomes part of it.
It does not need to become a photograph or a story sent back to me. A passing look counts too. You give the work a life beyond mine.
