“My work with Strude began at a local museum on a small Danish island where women’s folk dresses were exhibited on faceless cloth dummies. The colours were intense and the detail intricate, but it was the mask-like hood that drew my eye. A garment called a “strude”, worn by women in the past to protect their faces against the elements and still worn at the annual fête I returned to year after year to make the work.”
