“…Judging from their appearance, they were most likely hung above the choir stools on the dies natalis of the three martyrs, where they served as valuable liturgical tools. 63 This story has, however, been told before. What has not yet been thoroughly explored is the devotional function they might have served even before they were finished.…”

In her dissertation, she studies textile as a complex and versatile medium with a specific focus on how it was used and perceived during the Middle Ages. She has recently published an article on Medievalism and the "Game of Thrones Tapestry" in the Danish journal for History of Ideas, Slagmark, and has conducted a research stay at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, which was funded by the Augustinus Foundation. The fabric of devotion: A new approach to studying textiles from late medieval nunneriesRecent scholarship on the nunneries of the Late Middle Ages has demonstrated that within these houses, textile work served as important devotional tools which might accompany prayer, meditation and worship. This shows that the production of woven and embroidered textiles in nunneries does not easily compare to any modern-day notion of artistic practice, and it is argued that art historians should take this into consideration when approaching these textiles. This article proposes a new way of analysing textiles from nunneries, based on the premise that within nunneries, textile production was a complex and dynamic devotional practice.The article analyses a series of textiles from Lüne Abbey in northern Germany, the so-called Bartholomäuslaken (1492), Katharinenlaken (1500) and Georgslaken (1500), to illustrate the claim that we should consider textiles from religious houses as material indexes of the devotional practice of nuns.
