Finissage Dialogues of the figures

Last Friday was the Finissage of my solo expo in De Meeuw, Amsterdam Noord. Now I am going to breed on what will be the next step of these visual dialogues held by me in collaboration with other young Amsterdam based artists! #textiles #earth pigmets #natural colors #artisticresearch #visualdialogues #neigborhoodhouse #finissage #exhibition #AmsterdamNoord

Collective Weaving @ Campfirestories

Besides that, it also resulted in two wonderful weavings, inspired by the natural landscape. These two will decorate the campfirestories festivals to come! #weavingtoget
