Welcome to The Society of Arts and Crafts of new south wales

Einar Johansen

I am an emerging Sydney-based artist who is inspired by my immediate, urban surrounds; documenting where man meets nature within this setting.

My work pairs graphic imagery with craft: primarily painting and drawing with the likes of embroidery and weaving.

I like to imagine my work as an ecosystem: how each layer of art and craft is important to the overall integrity of the piece. Like our environment, all of it is what makes it special and complete. If you start to remove elements here and there, like species from the food chain or plants that prevent land erosion, you will start to unravel the whole thing; the damage becoming more devastating and irreversible.

With this, I hope to get people to think and care about the ecologies of our beautiful, vibrant planet, and to consider how important every part of it is. This includes the bugs and other slimy, biting, annoying things, and not just the cute, pretty bits.
