More than meets the eye
Hanna Åström at Lusthuset in Spökparken
24-26 September 2026

Hanna Åström (b. 1982) is a textile artist based in Stockholm whose main technique is knitting. She allows colors and patterns to interact through repetition and variation, contrasting soft materials with sharper, graphic shapes. In Åström’s work, the knitted material breaks free from the human body in order to occupy the surrounding space, challenging established hierarchies within textile traditions. Her idiom is colorful yet close to minimalistic and defined by an uncompromising passion for precision.

In this exhibition, you will encounter knitted reliefs and sculptures that explore form and color effects ranging from the subtle to the pronounced.

Åström holds a Bachelor’s degree in Textiles from Konstfack. Her educational background includes studies at Stockholms Tillskärarakademi, School of Handarbetets Vänner, and the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås. She has exhibited at venues such as Virserum Art Hall and the Handarbetets Vänner gallery.
