I create textile sculptures mainly out of used fabrics that are stuffed with filling material. I also prefer materials such as wire, wooden beads, acrylic paints, and various yarns.
I received my most important inspirations as a small child: There was a collection of tribal masks that dominated my parents’ living room, as well as some sculptures by Dutch artist Jaap Wagemaker. Gerrit Rietveld’s geometrically structured furniture, books on tribal art, and painting also left important impressions.
I create my sculptures as a mixture of the art of numerous European artists under the influence of tribal art, such as that of the cubists, to give just one example, and skills acquired by traditionally female activities such as tailoring, knitting and embroidery to create haptic textiles.
My sculptures can easily be worn and presented on the body, but they are not actually designed for that purpose. However, I am happy, when viewers want to touch my sculptures because of their haptic effect.
I mainly use natural materials that decompose easily. Many seams are done by hand. By primarily using old materials, I give them a second, sometimes even a third life.
