Slow Surface
Textile reliefs between art and space.
My work begins with the thread — and ends in the room.
I create large-format textile reliefs in wool that are more than decoration. Inspired by landscapes, sediments, clouds and the traces of the wind, they become tactile surfaces that bring depth, calm and atmosphere to a space.
Each piece is made by hand as a one-of-a-kind work. This is how textile sculptures emerge at the intersection of art, craft and spatial design.
About
During my further training in interior architecture, I was preoccupied with how rooms create atmosphere. Many wall designs live on colour or pictures. I was fascinated by the idea of letting walls themselves become a tactile surface.
Out of that search came Slow Surface: my work with thread, surface and relief.
I came to this craft through time, chance and need.
I’m fascinated by the structures that recur, again and again, in different forms.
In rivers, roots, leaf veins and the human body I recognise the same branching language of life. It reminds me that the same principles act through the most varied forms, and that everything is part of a greater whole.
I’m equally moved by the traces that natural forces leave behind: water shapes stone, wind draws patterns in the sand, waves leave lines and structures. The same movements and rhythms meet me in layers of sediment, mountain formations and cloudscapes.
My work grows from this feeling — not as a depiction of a landscape, but as an attempt to translate that connectedness, movement and depth into textile form.
Material and process
For my work I use high-quality wool yarns, carefully chosen for their quality and origin.
I’m fascinated by the natural warmth, depth and expressiveness of this material. Wool lets me create relief-like surfaces that catch light and shadow and lend a room its own atmosphere.
Each piece grows in a slow, largely intuitive process. Starting from sketches and material studies, I develop forms and surfaces thread by thread.
Layer by layer, reliefs take shape — evolving as they’re made until they find their own spatial language.
Working together
For bespoke works and projects in homes and commercial interiors, I’d be glad to hear from you. Together we develop textile reliefs attuned to the particular space and its atmosphere.
