I'm so happy to finally and officially welcome you to Hvalholm.
In case you don't know me already, hi, I'm Rhea Kay and I am the founder and creator behind Hvalholm. I was born and bred in the Shetland Islands and I am constantly in awe of it. It is a place that has had a profound affect on my practice, and continues to do so. Additionally, I am someone who loves anything creative, and throughout the years I have been lucky to explore, study and work in a variety of disciplines and places. During these experiences I have realised that my greatest interest lies within the curation of things; finding a way to collate fragments of ideas, practices and aesthetics into a concept.
I officially began developing Hvalholm at the very end of last year, although ideas surrounding it has been in the back of my mind ever since a mid-lecture daydream in the second year of my textiles degree. You could say I have had more than plenty of time to put this together, however it feels brand new and exciting too, and I cannot wait to see the new work and aesthetics that develops as this venture progresses.
In terms of explaining more about the makeup of Hvalholm, there is so much that I can discuss with you, so Da Journal will act as a great place to share more with you. That said, I will keep this post short and sweet, and will look forward to creating more entries soon!
Rhea x
