Karl Björn Edvard Eriksson
Karl Björn Edvard Eriksson is a fashion and textiles artist, researcher and designer. He grew up on a moonlight farm in the Swedish countryside with sheep and other animals. Since a child, the smell of sheepswool has coloured his experience and the fantasy of art let him dream. Björn aspires to evolve fashion from its commonality into its exceptionalism as a vehicle for identity making and signalling, a vehicle for sustainable and empathic practices, a vehicle for self-love and care of others. He believes fashion allows us to dress into each other’s experiences so that we may live better together. Björn wishes to explore what this may mean in a more technocratic society where technofixes may be used as crutches and escapes when they can be used as enablers, supporters and evolutions into living more closely together.
