Meet-a-Maker is a 30-minute session to have a one-on-one talk with artists currently working at Mediamatic. We are lucky to be inspired by the many artists who work and stay with us for exhibitions, residencies and workshops. We welcome you to meet them and be inspired as well!
About the artist
I have a legal background, but since I was 13 I have been involved in designing interiors, furniture and living items such as sofa covers. For a few years, I worked as a lawyer while continuing to make things in my spare time. I missed crafts at times when I was too preoccupied with my head. That is how I started studying architecture at TU Delft and then moved on to the Art Academy Amsterdam.
Now I have my own brand; Snekkerbuks, where I realise my passion for using textile at an architectural scale. I call it "Textile Architecture”; work that translates itself into objects and garments that are durable, robust in use and have an aesthetic value. For each design I make an average of 20 prototypes so that something will be exactly as I think it works best and is visually correct. Any new product is used by me and others for at least six months to confirm this. In this way, such a quality is created that even a circular system has developed.
Topics
- Sustainability and Circularity. How do you ensure the durability and longevity of your textile creations?
- Design Process and Textile Architecture.
- Thoughts on the future of textiles in design.
- Bridging Law and Design.
- Business and Brand Development.
- How to involve the future generation in a sustainable approach to fashion.
