EXPLORATIONS
Welcome to my collection of experiments, prototypes, and the just-for-fun projects that fuel my creative spirit!
Graphic design using two self-made felt balls wrapped in wool string
Clothes I made for Barbie. The red coat is inspired by Comme des Garcons / Rei Kawakubo. The white dress is selfmade felt from Italian sheep wool.
Marbles: Lost and Found (2023). Agar, glycerine, gelatine, cotton fibers, charcoal, soap, and water, 15 x 30 cm.
The expo wall at Central Saint Martin's of the work I made during their Textile Design summer school.
Photographed by Janetta Ninkeula (2023).
Scaffolded leather bags
These pieces were made in collaboration with American designer Riley Cox. We created 2D and 3D moulds using laser cutting and CNC milling. These served as bases to pour material composites into, or to shape leather around.
Lasercut origami card experiment
Book cover design for the course Artist Book Making by Japanese designer Nishiko.
I took two blank canvasses and took off the cotton canvas, cut that into strips and braided them together and stapled them back on their frames. Then I painted them with grey acrylics and let self-made paper dry on top. Then I painted my name on it using a lasercut template. The front cover and back cover are held together with small black hinges.
Assignment for the course Artist Book Making: create a two pager.
Felt, duct tape, and a tiny book locked in a plastic bag, sealed with a ribbon.
Lasercut felt design of what I call 'modules'.
The modules have slits and can be puzzled together.
This is the 'negative' (left-over) felt from the laser cutter.
The top is made from puzzled modules, the skirt from the 'negative'.
Mono-print experiment
Gelli-plated acrylics on paper using an image from National Geographic.
Pencil and watercolor drawings of garments I never made
A nice pile of colourful (wet-felted) textiles I made
Bio-plastic top, made with agar agar, glycerine, water and charcoal.
Bio-plastic top modeled by Irish designer Stephanie Johnson
3d-printed bracelet (modeled by Stephanie Johnson)
Custom-made book using the recipient's last name to create a graphic design printed on cut outs of existing book pages.
