A central part of the story behind Thomas Hansson's linocuts "Grandma's hands" concerns the hands that carry out the actual work. Pictured are Thomas Hansson's own hands, holding a note with colours for a planned painting. But it was his grandmother's hands that gave rise to the idea for the new prints series. They bore the marks of a serious accident in her youth. ⁠
"She lost several fingers in an accident on a farm in northeastern Skåne. She would always hide her injured hand—it was something she felt ashamed of."⁠
"At the same time, it was with those hands, with eight and a half fingers, that she crocheted the granny squares that were joined into a blanket in my childhood home. That blanket gave me the idea. I asked my mother to crochet the template for the print, based on the granny squares from that blanket. With my great-grandmother’s knowledge, my grandmother’s original work, my mother’s craftsmanship, and my own expression, I’m trying to draw a straight line through time, the artist says.⁠

“Granny squares” refers to small, usually square motifs that are crocheted individually and then joined together into blankets, garments, and other items. In the same way, the eight different colorways of Thomas Hansson's linocut prints can combined to form a larger whole.⁠

The "Grandma’s Hands" prints are fundamentally black linocuts, hand-printed by the artist. On top of this, the artist has hand-colored all the colored areas, thereby creating eight unique variations of the granny square. Each colorway is produced in an edition of three.⁠

"My grandmother Kerstin and my paternal grandmother Ingrid were diligent and meticulous needleworkers. They always had knitting needles or a crochet hook within arm’s reach" says the artist Thomas Hansson. ⁠
"My great-grandmother taught my grandmother, my grandmother taught my mother, and my mother tried to teach me. The interest was there, but so was a certain restlessness"⁠
"This is my homage to the women who clothed me and kept me warm, but also an attempt to keep that lineage of handcraft alive."⁠

En förutsättning för livet på jorden är gravitationen. Den gör att äpplet faller mot marken, att inte syret eller för den delen mänsklighet stilla lyfter, svävar iväg och försvinner i den oändliga rymden. Det är dock en fantasieggande tanke att slippa undan kraften som drar oss mot jordens mitt, att kunna sväva: att få levitera.
