Inspired by culture and identity research, memory and loss, Barbara Munsel develops conceptual garments and experimental textiles from a strong narrative. Her work is about fragility and stratification, in which a current context, history or background can always be detected, whether consciously or not. She emphasizes the connection between people's perception and their relationship to their material context.
She often works with natural, old or antique materials and with residual materials.
