Between two worlds,
Can one add mysticism to functional form? My investigation is based on a meeting between two powerful artistic means of expression, the functional form and my free painting.
I have looked back in time to the creative artistic home that I grew up in. The clear demarcation between
functional uniformity and my colourful paintings were my starting points. How can I transfer my art to a fashion-design context? Can the visual give rise to a thought about the fashion industry by trying to see and to appreciate fashion more like a highly-valued work of art?
In my collection, the colours take their place on long silhouettes that fly in motion, in combination with a tailored expression, details, buttons and collars. The transformation to digital printing has been a major part of the process with regard to preserving the mystique. I have chosen to work with fabrics that, in a very stimulating way, create contrasts. Many of the materials have been recovered from waste materials.
