Born in Östhammar, Sweden and growing up in Denmark and Greenland, Jørgensen received his education as a weaver by Kim Naver in Copenhagen 1978–80, Dona Paula Sanches in Guatemala 1980–81, and professor Shizuko Ōshiro in Okinawa, Japan 1986–87.[1][2][3]
Weilbach's Biographical Dictionary of Artists describes Jørgensen as "one of the young tapestry weavers about to revitalize a tradition that would otherwise be in danger of extinction".[4] His commissioned works can be seen at University of Copenhagen, the Danish Ministry of Justice and the Danish Supreme Court.[5]
Jørgensen has designed and produced vestments, floor coverings, and antependia for e.g. Trinitatis Church in Copenhagen, Rungsted Church, and St. Clemens' Church in Randers.[4]
