Ingrid Helena Pajo (*1996, Estonia) is a textile artist, who – having in mind the importance of tactile knowledge – is exploring the roots of weaving, spinning and dyeing fabrics. Found materials are an integral part of this discovery, emphasising the journey; the collecting; the process; the bricolage.
