Ellen Dynebrink (b.1986) is a textile artist based in Gothenburg. Ellen received her MFA in textile art from the University of Gothenburg (HDK–Valand) in 2017 and a BFA in Textile Design from The Swedish School of Textiles in 2014.

Ellen’s focus on patchwork in particular derives from my love for the textile material and her interest in the relationship between the textile field and women’s history. With her practice she seeks to explore values and preconceived notions in feminine coded expressions and techniques. Throughout the work there is an ongoing investigation of the gap between the production of images and representation, and the relationship between the gaze and the image, with following questions about subjectivity. By using digital tools, she edits and convert photos and sketches which in later hand are sewn into patchwork.
