artistic research - ecology - installation - nature - painting - sculpture - textile
I am a visual and textile artist working across botanical dyeing, textiles, painting, drawing, ceramics and gardening. My process-driven and material-based practice focuses on plants, fibers and colors as a way of exploring connections with specific living worlds and their embedded knowledge. Colors and textiles are not only carrying fundamental expressive qualities, but are also a medium of relationship, rooted in the surrounding ecosystem. Through slow processes of self-teaching, learning from intimacy, affection and from other-than-humans, I circle around matters of care, ecology and de-growth. I am currently exploring geographical specificities and land-based knowledge connected to areas of Italy and The Netherlands.
