About
I am deeply engaged in how we perceive our surroundings and how they affect us sensorially. To create spaces and sensory experiences, I work with weaving, tactility, colours, and atmospheres.To work with weaving is for me a way to express ideas and connect to my surroundings. I am fascinated by how crafts can have a therapeutic effect.The future presents complex challenges, and we need to take better care of our environment. We can feel alienated from our surroundings because we don't understand them. I believe that part of the solution lies in cultivating greater awareness and sensitivity toward materials, craftsmanship, and what nourishes our senses and minds, both as designers and as human beings.
Unfolding Paper aims to design textiles that contribute to the sensory and atmospherical experience of a space. While traditional architectural materials are often rigid and heavy, textiles offer a contrasting sense of softness, flexibility and lightness. Paper yarn is a characteristic material and the textiles of the collection are all unfolding aspects of paper yarn’s properties. In some instances, the inherent stiffness of paper yarn gives the textiles a three-dimensional form or causes them to curl. In other examples, combining paper yarn with fibres like wool results in a new material that blends the qualities of each component. Colours are used to accentuate the movement and textures and evoke emotions. Unfolding Paper highlights the potential for woven paper yarn-based textiles to become engaging spatial elements, enriching architectural environments to become more embracing and nurturing.
