Rural Landscape
Design: Camilla Ette Gotfredsen, Designette, Denmark

People have been cultivating the land for thousands of years. I find the sight of the cultivated fields very beautiful.
I particularly like the plough furrows that divide the landscape with their stark, straight lines, created by cutting the dark earth and turning it over. Where these lines change direction from one area to the next, beautiful combinations of stripes emerge.
I have been “playing farmer”, zooming in and out and applying my aesthetic sensibility, sensing the cutting edge of the plough and the gentle turning of the soil. I have tried to render the structure in knitting – this is my field.
