Available to hire
I am a Dutch fibre artist based in Sardinia, working with lace and passementerie. My practice travels between traditional craft and contemporary research, translating centuries-old techniques into new, experimental forms.
I explore rhythm and repetition as a way of knowing, bridging craft with design practice, and collaborated with designers and artists across fashion and textiles.
