“Den prætentiøse, fantastiske idé, hvor livet, som det er, fortrænges. Materialismens ekshibitionisme og begæret efter i morgen, det nye, det ekstraordinære, den stakåndede panik. Op imod dét, leverer Begitte L.A. et feminint oprør: hverdagens objekter gives status, når karkludens grove mønster gøres til silkens dekoration, det tavse tjenende viskestykke får ny identitet i transformationen til kunstværk. Hjemmets artefakter får deres ellers benægtede anerkendelse, når Begitte L.A. med sit stærke instinkt for tekstilernes evne til at få os til at føle og huske, lader hverdagslivet kendes i kunsten. Det kan minde om en taksigelse: Skønheden er ikke hos konger og dronninger, men hos den, der er dig trofast og nær. Uld-underbuksen, snitmønstrene, sengetøjet, hverdagens nødvendigheder. Motiverne og taktiliteten drager os hjem, ikke ud. Her insisteres på tilstedeværelse.” - Mira Erik
"Teknik/håndværk, materialevalg og proces ligger både som konkrete spor og metalag i mine værker. Jeg kombinerer praksisser fra grafik, skulptur, fotografi og tekstilt kunsthåndværk med konceptuelle greb. I mit arbejde er den reflekterende tankeverden ligestillet med det kropslige, sanselige og intuitive. Mit genstandsfelt finder jeg i det hverdagslige, i det sitrende mellemrum af tvetydighed, der er imellem os som mennesker og den omgivende verden. Min kærlighed og mit sprog ligger i det tekstil felt, idet tekstil som materiale bærer evnen til at arbejde med erindringsspor - de kan være ladet med værdier og medbringe en iboende fortælling.
De fleste mennesker har en relation til tekstiler, ofte usprogligt og sanseligt. Intentionen er at skabe værker, hvor mine håndværksundersøgelser og processer gestalter sig som sanselige spor der bærer til beskuerens egen oplevelse af sanselighed, udvider og skaber nye rum for refleksion og forundring. At der herfra både i den enkelte og i det fælles, vokser nye muligheder for en mere intim forbindelse til hverdagen." - B.L.A
Begittes værker kredser om de fortællinger, der lige netop omgiver hende; det praktiske, presserende, de stiltiende hverdagslige nødvendigheder og gentagelserne. Metoderne er ofte den trykte, serigrafiske proces, i kombination med atypiske teknikker og nøje udvalgte materialer. Begitte Lynge Andersen har bl.a. udstillet på de censurerede udstillinger; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Kunsthal Aarhus, Nordkraft og Tistrup, samt i USA, Tyskland, Japan og Frankrig.
Begitte Lynge Andersen er født 1969 i Australien og opvokset i Thy. Hun er uddannet tekstiltrykker, institut for Unika, på Designskolen Kolding i 1996, samt linjen for Interaktivt Design, Institut for Visuel Kommunikation samme sted samme sted i 2000.

ENG. :
“The pretentious, fantastic idea, where life as it is is repressed. The exhibitionism of materialism and the desire for tomorrow, the new, the extraordinary, the breathless panic. Against this, Begitte L.A. delivers a feminine rebellion: everyday objects are given status when the rough pattern of the dishcloth is made into the decoration of the silk, the silent serving tea towel is given a new identity in the transformation into a work of art. The artifacts of the home are given their otherwise denied recognition when Begitte L.A., with her strong instinct for the ability of textiles to make us feel and remember, makes everyday life known in art. It can be reminiscent of a thanksgiving: Beauty does not belong to kings and queens, but to those who are faithful and close to you. The wool underpants, the cut patterns, the bed linen, the necessities of everyday life. The motifs and tactility draw us home, not out. Here, presence is insisted on.” - Mira Erik
"Technique/craft, choice of materials and process are both concrete traces and metal layers in my works. I combine practices from graphics, sculpture, photography and textile crafts with conceptual approaches. In my work, the reflective world of thought is equal to the physical, sensual and intuitive. I find my subject matter in the everyday, in the trembling space of ambiguity that exists between us as humans and the surrounding world. My love and my language lie in the textile field, as textile as a material carries the ability to work with traces of memory - they can be loaded with values and carry an inherent story.
Most people have a relationship with textiles, often non-linguistic and sensual. The intention is to create works where my craft research and processes take the form of sensory traces that lead to the viewer's own experience of sensuality, expand and create new spaces for reflection and wonder. That from here, both in the individual and in the collective, new possibilities for a more intimate connection to everyday life." - B.L.A
Begitte's works revolve around the stories that surround her; the practical, the urgent, the tacit everyday necessities and the repetitions. The methods are often the printed, serigraphic process, in combination with atypical techniques and carefully selected materials. Begitte Lynge Andersen has exhibited at the censored exhibitions; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Kunsthal Aarhus, Nordkraft and Tistrup, as well as in the USA, Germany, Japan and France.
Begitte Lynge Andersen was born in 1969 in Australia and raised in Thy. She is a textile printer, Department of Unique Design, at the Kolding School of Design in 1996, and the Interactive Design line, Department of Visual Communication, same place, same place in 2000.
