de wereld
zou ik willen vangen
op papier
het overweldigende
van de natuur
die langs me heen raast
een vlucht vogels
die uit elkaar breekt
boven het dak van de auto
de snelheid
van ons beider beweging
en
het cynisme
van beiden
.....onze natuur
Growing up with a fiber arts teacher as a mother, I started learning the fundamentals of textile art at a very young age. I have always felt the need to push the limits of this medium. In my search for items that would translate to something that can be seen or used in everyday life, I went from making rugs and wall hangings to creating containers and baskets and finally jewelry. Every step along the way, I worked smaller and smaller while translating fiber art techniques into techniques I could use with metals and gemstones. Current favorite techniques include crochet, tapestry weaving and basket weaving.
