Containers

The concept of containers relates to their myriad functions, i.e. to hide and to carry: Egyptian mummies, swaddling the remains in herringbone patterns, metal containers hiding refugees or plastic bags and jute sacks to carry the life-support of nomads. On another scale in anatomical structures like a ribcage, pouches and an amniotic sack the structures protect, connect and merge with other structures, but can be permeable at the same time.

The intelligence of the hand

Weaving, taken out of its traditional context is a contemporary artform. Weaving has an intellectual and a manual side, a combination of the  material knowledge of hands, imagination and digital technology. The hand is the interface and in this way the weaver is a protagonist of our times, especially in the experience of time itself. Go to:  Weeflab , Amsterdam.
