The visual language of Saminte Ekeland shows many-layered artworks, characterized by their chemical marriage between material, style, and content. All of Ekeland’s works are drawn with threads and needle. As the carrier for her embroidery drawings, she uses a thick see-through polyester, the same kind used for windows in the production of high-end yachts.
In this sense, the ‘canvas’ itself forms an important part of what she wants to bring across; it is always a canvas–in–the–world. As paintings or drawings could be viewed as a seduction to the viewer to see through the eyes of the artist, Ekeland’s use of see-through plastic as the base of her work makes it a literal window to the world.
