DOUBLE WEAVE AND SOME OTHER THINGS...

My first steps in double weave.

A very nice present.

Jean Brusselsmans, a nice exhibition I saw today in Ostend.

A picture from the place I work.

Last week we went to Paris to see Leviathan by Anish Kapoor.

Overwhelming...

ONE SHEEP SWEATER

Curious about how this project is going to work out!

"We are currently working on a new collection
of knitted sweaters that are each made from
the wool of one of these merino sheep.
There is only one flock of merino sheep
in the Netherlands, owned by Mathee Kamp.
The sheep have been shorn and
the wool is on the way to be washed and spun."

NOT TOO ARTY

I have done a small cooperation with Yves Drieghe,
from 'Not Too Arty'.
We designed a print together,
based on one of my scarves,
and I made 2 mini scarves,
for the "very limited" t-shirts. :-)
They are for boys/men,
and for sale here.

Nice working with you Yves!

WET SCARF

GOOD WEATHER SCARF

Weather has been so good here in Belgium,
so no more winterscarves.
This one is linen and cotton.
Very light, quite long, 2 meters.
For someone who likes small houndstooth :-)

ANU TUOMINEN

Tuominen’s object works have their points
of departure in visual ideas and thinking.
Her art links together objects, words and images
into a single rich jigsaw puzzle of ideas.
In her hands, everyday utility objects,
metal kitchen utensils, broken crockery
or ordinary buttons from flee markets
are miraculously transformed into something else,
but without losing their original nature.
Via small additions, the use of colourful balls of wool
and skilful crochet-work, or simply by sorting and combining,
realisations of the artist’s ideas
in visual form grow organically out of them.
A subtle addition brings about an unspoken metamorphosis.
The works return to presence the colour of blueberry milk,
the sounds of manual work, the chalk-smell of the school classroom,
what it tastes like, what it feels like to the touch.
