Danish textile artist and designer Felicia Hansen dismantles discarded stuffed animals to create sustainable art and atypical interior designs from Teddy Bears. Through her practice, she not only creates originaly, one-of-a-kind pieces which tell and inspire personal stories, but also raises awareness on the constantly increasing post-consumer waste from the toy industry.

A couple of weeks ago, Felicia and I met via Zoom to speak about the beauty of working sustainably, the old and new identities of Teddy Bears, and her upcoming solo exhibition at May 25th in Malmö, Sweden, where the 29 year old artist currently lives and works.

Self taught Indonesian artist Agnes Hansella (b. 1992 in Banjarmasin, Indonesia) is on a mission to make humans feel small and to make us understand how we are all connected to each other. Sometimes overwhelmed by the fast pace of today’s digital world, the technique of Macramé helps the artist to remember to breathe and to immerse herself in things she can control.

In her interview with Suboart Magazine, Agnes talks about how Macramé found her in 2016, her most recent body of work, and how feeling small helps her to remind that we’re all just part of one ecosystem.
