Winter girl drives across Lapland with her dog sled, bringing an illuminating snow cover when she arrives. A beautiful weave of stars and snowflakes shimmers against the dark night sky.

The artwork was inspired by the Christmas concert of the a cappella ensemble Rajaton. The original artwork is woven with a loom combining picking and traditional weave patterns.

In the sky of the artwork there is a traditional weave pattern called ”karhunkäpälä” (meaning the bear’s paw). This pattern has fascinated me for a long time. It and its variants can be found in old museum textiles all over Europe. It’s like an old folk tale that has traveled from village to village as an unwritten tradition.

The fine art giclée print of the original artwork is printed on an acid free paper with museum quality ink. The print is numbered, dated and signed by the artist. The size of a series is 20 pieces. The print needs to be framed with acid free materials behind glass to protect from moisture, dust and sun damage.
