HEKNE x Gjone: Origin

The needle is the ancient starting point for our entire craft. Such a simple, yet powerful object that has had enormous significance for human survival and development. History changed the moment someone pulled a thread of plant fiber through a piece of animal hide using a needle made of bone. 

As a tribute to the very first needle, we have turned the needle into a piece of jewelry, and the jewelry into a needle. 

a wavy arrow / through the heart / a string of lightning / to knit the parts

Anheng nål i gull

one resolute and mighty spine / that forces chaos into line / it pierces through the heavy weave / to heal the wounds that fibres leave

over my chest / golden and proud / it shines alone / it screams out loud

this is my choice / life-string well kept / to make my garments resurrect
