Layers (2015)
In my third bachelor I was inspired by the city: the layering which makes the city strong as well diverse. The different colours that contrast and together form a grey mass.
I focused on the knitting technique and explored its boundaries. The knitted layers create a sturdy textile, but are at the same time exuberant and expressive. They rebel against the grayness and roughness of the city. In the pieces I used a lot of colours, plastic materials, elastic bands and thick yarn. Everything grew in a spontaneous but also technical manner, with a lot of humor as backbone.
