NAMACHEKO

NAMACHEKO’s Spring Summer collection is titled Krokus after the work of Märtha Måås Fjetterström with the same name.

In an ode to nature both figuratively and in a more personal way of my own nature - philosophically meaning to witch nature I belong.

Märtha Måås worked in the same geographical location in Sweden that I grew up in. The west coast.

In complete different time periods, she worked in the the beginnings of the 1900 century and I left this part of Sweden in my early 20´s.

What captured my attention was the the graphical shapes that Märtha Måås was creating based on the local flora. And with Krokus being a flower that thrives in my country of birth Kurdistan - Irak and in Sweden it become a poetic gesture to.

In the collection the floral work of Märtha Måås has been transformed in multiple ways into: pockets, flaps, shapes, but also more direct into jacquards and intarsia. Always in an abstract way, because this is only way that I can reference something that is differentiated one hundred years.
