Tonje Plur

Sculpture, Textile

Tonje Plur (b. 1985, Oslo, NO) has a craft certificate in dress and costume design (2005) and a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in clothing design from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2012 - 2017).

Her artistic practice can be described as a combination of craft, fine art and fashion design. Plur works primarily as an artist but utilizes techniques from craft and fashion industries; in her voluminous sculptures, seam and knitting are used in combination with a variety of textile materials and surfaces. Plur is interested in how a variation of techniques, materials and surfaces intersect both visually and tactilely, and is known for her rich combinations of techniques and materials, creating structure and three-dimensional surfaces.

Plur is acquired by the National Museum of Norway.
