The video piece is a continuation of meetings between three dyers Lotta Lundstedt, Sweden, Lidia Kostareva, Russia and Elina Härkönen, Finland. We met first time in Komi, Russia 2019 and started sharing our passion for plant dyes. Since then, we have been able to meet only online but have been able to collaborate through artistic work. Meeting in Material is our first artwork published in 2020 where we have examined dyeing as a cultural heritage by joining outcomes of our dyeing process together. In this second artwork, Meeting in Landscape we have concentrated on the poetic rhythm of the dyeing processes by bringing our three landscapes together. Our collaboration is ultimately about sharing and learning from each other’s processes and thoughts about dyeing and cultures in our neighbouring countries. Meeting in Landscape was exhibited together with Rae Mariz in the exhibition One of a kind, Utopia, Umeå, Sweden 2022.
