TRANSIENCE

2023



TRANSIENCE

Materials play a big role in the notion/ discussion of sustainability. We need to use more recycled yarns / natural / natural dyes .... But we never talk about how we deal with the fact that these materials will change over time and might fade or decay sooner than new materials by influence of use and nature.

By creating ‘TRANSIENCE’ I wanted to use change and process, designed in and as part of the work to rise awereness of its importance towards longevity and the relationship we have with our belongings.

This textile piece raises questions about physical change and decay and how we as humans deal with that. It also questions to the emotional relationships people develop with objects: Incorporating change and encouraging longevity by turning time and memory into tangible elements of the design.

FLOATS



FLOATS is a series of wall tapestries created from a research about composition, shape, and color.

Through the use of color, natural and outspoken materials within the jacquard weaving technique allow FLOATS to become a tapestry with great tactile and organic aspects. The combination of different materials, including the linen floating threads on a graphic wool and cotton background, give a very unique and tactile feeling to the tapestry.

GRID Tapestry

2019


GRADIENT RUG



GRID is a series of jacquard woven and felted tapestries. 

By felting and manipulating the fabric after weaving, the materials change. They start to wrinkle, shrink, move and distort, expressing their most tactile characteristics. Through this process, different textures and organic shapes are created, looking and feeling luxuriously tactile. As a result, the woven rug gets a unique 3D character, transforming the bold graphical design into a set of tangible textures.

This rug has no front or backside, but each side expresses a different kind of touch.

Dimensions 130 x 190 cm
Composition Merino wool, organic cotton, linen
Made in collaboration with TextielLab Tilbrug.
