7 SIBANNAC - The Spiral Labyrinth

This summer one of FibRe’s industrial partners, Clara Norell at Svensk Hampaindustri, is presenting her work at the Kivik Art Centre. Her work is a part of this year’s temporary project, Beyond Concrete – Nature as a Building Matter where exibitions ”explore the possibilities of hemp at the intersection of art, architecture and natur”. Read more about the project at Kivik Art Centre’s website.
 
In the picture to the right you see Clara’s work, 7 SIBANNAC, as it grows into shape. Below is a desription of the work and the ideas that inspired it:

The work explores the intersection of agriculture, geometry, architecture, and humanity’s ancient relationship with the landscape. Using industrial hemp as a living material, it creates a space for movement, reflection, and reconnection with the rhythms of nature. The spiral labyrinth is simultaneously a work of art, a journey, and a reminder that humans—together with nature—have always been part of Earth’s greater narrative. The labyrinth offers a physically grounded experience, inviting visitors to touch, smell, and inhabit the hemp’s sensory and spatial presence. The work explores a material that carries both a deep historical legacy and highly current relevance to the ecological and construction-related transitions of our time.
