Room number: 11
The studio is open Sunday 27 April from 12-17
I work with site-specific works that combine handwoven textiles, sculpture and photography. Through my work, I investigate materiality, decay, transience and man’s influence on the environment. Photographs of building structures and urban development are often the starting point for further processing. In the exhibition context, I long for quiet rooms, which slow down the pace of the cityscape and connect to the body.
