Helena Hernmarck has been active since the 1960s and in that time she's kept incredible documentation of her work.

And tell me what you write in this#book.

It's basically the recipe for all the things I've woven so I can go back if I want to compare something or remind myself something I forgot.

At the end of the day of weaving, I would sit down# and do my charts.

So reed and number of threads and the widths and the lengths and the warp length# and the warp weight and the total weight and the final size.

So there's a different sizes and#the different dents which means holes but per inch.

So these are all the numbers both metric# and American.

Okay.

So this long chart, which is your timeline, starts in 1976.

So let's unfurl# it if we can.

This is what I did since I moved to the States.

And it's one foot per year.

And so#that makes it 50 ft long.

So when we lay it out on the floor, it goes from one end of the studio#to the other.

So each inch represents a month and each foot represents a year.

Yes, that's right.

And then I've marked how many months did it take to do poppies, for example.

So it started here in April and it ended in September.

And before that I was in Sweden dyeing the yarn for it.

Right.

This is ' 89.

This is 2005.

Here's 2001.

This is when I got to make a tapestry for Benny Andersson# who started ABBA.

And he wanted one for his home for his staircase.

So this took us from August to the end of December to weave and that was when 911 happened during that time.

So it starts#in 76 and it ends now.

I think I'm up to date.

End of April 2025.

Yeah.

So is I obviously I#love charts or I wouldn't be doing these things.
