About this artwork
Rainbow Structures
In my work I am interested in the transformation of surface into space. Textile materials not only become carriers of an image, but develop their own volume, presence and physicality.
“Rainbow Structures” was created from hand-dyed and hand-painted silk, which I smocked in an elaborate process and then further processed by hand. The contraction of the fabric creates rhythmic structures reminiscent of organic growth, landscapes,… or natural forms of movement.
The flowing color gradient unites the different areas into a cohesive form, creating an impression of energy, change, and continuity. Depending on the light, depth, shadows, and color effects change, making the work appear vibrant.
Like many of my works, this piece also moves between textile art, relief and object.

My artist statement
I am a visual artist and explore change as a fundamental principle of life. In my work, I combine painting, textiles, and relief to create multi-layered, sculptural surfaces that respond to light, perspective, and movement. Layers, transparencies, patina, sheen, and textile structures allow color, depth, and mood to appear ever-changing, reflecting traces of growth, development, decay, and transience. I am not interested in capturing a state, but rather in its mutability—and the possibility of making this mutability sensually perceptible. My works invite viewers to shift their perspective, to engage with the unusual, and to continually discover something new within them.
