(Norway, b. 1975)
卡里．安妮．赫勒伯格．巴赫里Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri (挪威, b.1975)，畢業於挪威奧斯陸國家藝術學院服裝設計（National Academy of the Arts, Oslo），自小在充滿創造力的環境長大，跳脫典型挪威式極簡風格，承續北歐憂鬱冷冽的氣質，融合服裝工藝，利用舊衣、碎布、殘片織品，混亂中透過解構、縫合、再造，賦予作品新意象，以中性色彩的織品藝術（Textile Art) 探討當下社會集體的限制、期待、秩序、孤立議題，形成個人獨特風格。曾於挪威Kunstmuseet NordTrøndelag、Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum等美術館、及丹麥Socle Du Monde雙年展展出，作品由Kongsberg Municipality，Den Norske Husflidforening等機構永久收藏。

卡里．安妮．赫勒伯格．巴赫里Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri童年因家境不富裕，裁縫師的母親常以舊衣物等易取得的布料材質進行設計，化腐朽為神奇，深深影響巴赫里Bahri對於織品興趣，驟逝的父親令她陷入孤立沈默、自我懷疑、感覺身體被牢籠所困，而唯有透過將碎片舊布、織補縫合再創造的過程，才找到可以發聲的方式。母親對她是媒材的啟發，而父親意象則反覆出現在她的創作內容中。她曾表示：「我運用衣服和布料做為溝通的語言，解放它們包裝身體的功能。」織布，有溫度的材質，衣物作為遮蔽身體的物件，與個人肌膚有著最親密的接觸，一旦新衣穿過之後，就不再是全新狀態，個人的心智狀態與情緒，都會在衣物上留下時間痕跡，它是自我私密的對話，同時也是個人對外標誌著自我於社會中的形象。
巴赫里Bahri善用手工縫製方式，與收集來的織布長時間相處，發掘纖维的細節，通過天然的棉、麻、毛料材質，選擇白色、或中性色彩呈現，認為藝術通常呈現生命中較沈重的層面，使用中性色彩可以不被愉悅或悲傷的情緒干擾影響，可以解放禁錮的身體，跳脫自我設限的困境，進而創造獨一無二的生命故事。以織線為畫筆，創作探討當下社會群體的限制（Limitations)、秩序（Restrictions）、期待（Expectations)、孤立（Isolation) 等議題，藉由現成物的混亂、被拋棄、瑕疵、腐朽、不完美的重新詮釋再造，提供觀者跳脫自我圈圈，立於客觀位置反思記憶經驗，從這樣的位置激發「過去我是誰」、「未來我是誰」、「我可以成為誰」的自我對話、思辨認知和妥協的過程。
二十世紀的織品藝術(Textile Art)，藝術家運用纖維的韌性及織物連結身體的親密感，表現自身的立場，並與傳統的編織工藝做出區隔。德裔美國藝術家安妮・亞伯斯Anni Albers， 是第一位打破藝術與工藝界線的藝術家，她利用織品纖維的特性讓天然材料、合成線、金屬塑料融入掛毯作品，研究畫面的幾何佈局與畫面平衡，美國藝術家茱蒂絲・史考特Judith Scott以織品纏繞包裹作品聞名，創造一系列的日常生活的物件，鑰匙、塑膠管或購物車，線性圍繞狀態暗示著儀式與遊戲的過程。當代日本藝術家塩田千春 (Shiota Chiharu)，以毛線及現成物組成的裝置藝術，帶領觀眾體驗人生的旅途，並將死亡的恐懼完整記錄下來。卡里．安妮．赫勒伯格．巴赫里Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri的作品，則有別於將編織作為個人生命的經驗再現，以舊布痕跡、手工縫線、縫合時間碎片，對抗社會共同體價值觀對單一個體影響，有著更為深刻細膩的詮釋。
作品 Circus (2017) 記憶中父親工作的既是小丑裝，也是馬戲團帳篷，勾起人前歡樂人後悲苦、笑中帶淚的共感經驗。作品Inception (2016)選用舊麻布袋縫線縫製而成，暗喻著懷胎過程的辛苦與新生的喜悅。作品Sleep tight (2014)將衣物束縛在盒中，一方面呈現身體受包裹的安全感，一方面也形成限制身體的無形框架。作品 General People (2013)則用各式不同的襯衫及外套組合的群體，表現社會集體的心理狀態，看似可愛的造型背後隱含質疑的反差。大型集合裝置Garment Bags (2016)，由80件衣架衣袋組合，向著同一個方向整齊排列。人們對於什麼時期應該做什麼事有著共同的觀點，進而觸發某種期待亦是限制，表現其實人都害怕被孤立，也為符合社會期待而遵守秩序。
卡里．安妮．赫勒伯格．巴赫里Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri使用織品Textile art 作為說故事的媒介，表面上操作著破布、織品、織線、碎片等混亂的元素，實則深入解剖衣物痕跡感受的記憶溫度，與深刻的內心世界所隱藏的心理狀態，透過創作呈現喜怒哀樂情緒的人性微縮，她的藝術是批判性的和解，同時也是對於靈魂深處的關懷。
