Siren Dahle creates site-specific installations in which photographic observations of changing environments are translated into handwoven textile structures.

 

Siren Dahle lives and works in Oslo and holds an MFA in Fine Art from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. She works with site-specific installations that combine handwoven textiles, sculpture, and photography. Her practice explores materiality, decay, and transience, and how human activity shapes both built and natural environments. Photographs of architectural structures, landscapes, and material surfaces often serve as a point of departure for further translation into textile. In exhibition contexts, Dahle creates subdued spatial environments that slow the pace of the city and invite a bodily, contemplative experience.

 

In 2023 she was awarded the Craft Prize for the work Concrete Life (Gladengveien 14). Her works are held in the collections of the National Museum, the Nordenfjeldske Museum of Decorative Arts and Design, and Bærum Municipality.

 

Alongside her individual practice, Dahle is a member of the artist collective Svartjord, which focuses on collaborative artistic processes and the exchange of knowledge. Ecology, spatial interventions, urbanity, and collectivity are central to the group’s practice.
