design - textiel

I am working on a permanent collection of hats, bags, and gaiters, balancing on the edge of comfort, wearability, and usability. I am exploring ways of storing items and openings in bags and clothing.

    Workshop

    • 01-06-2021 t/m 21-08-2021
    • In samenwerking met: Pascific Enterprises Unlimited
    • Locatie: Hillesluis, Vreewijk, Katendrecht, Rotjeknor, Rotterdam
    • A project in four neighborhoods where children attended theater- and design lessons for four days in a row. Then, on the fifth day, they presented their street act to a live audience, framed in a festival atmosphere with performances of professional artists. I was responsible for the costume design on all locations. In addition, I had to create an educational kit on different themes and groups of kids. It was a challenge to involve them in designing their costumes and requisites.

    Crisis Body Warmers

    Project

    • 30-07-2022 t/m 25-09-2022
    • Locatie: Ruivenstraat 39, Rotterdam
    • Flash Sale and Making of Crisis Body Warmers on the Spot during GRAW. The Spencer designs were made of leftover or donated fabrics. Visitors could try them on and buy one, paying € 25,- (6,5m3 gas) or whatever they could miss, depending on their crisis situation. At the moment one C.B.W. was sold a new one was made on the spot. The design emerged from the Pocket Investigation Experiment.

    O-Bag and Pepavanas

    Tentoonstelling / presentatie

    • 11-02-2014 t/m 14-02-2014
    • In samenwerking met: Anne van der Zwaag Object Rotterdam
    • Locatie: s/s Rotterdam, Rotterdam
    • Exploring borders in comfort and functionality resulted in the O-bag with its round hole in the middle. At Object Rotterdam I presented 3 variations of this object, one made of 3 mm black wool felt, two O-Bags made of burgundy red leather from a recycled Rolf Benz Couch, of which one was totally filled with foam rubber. The Monica gaiters, also from wool felt, that were on show had round openings too. The matter of openings in this warm keeping accessory is as confusing as the hole in the bag.
