Inspiration
I don’t go out and search for inspiration but I just bump into it along the way. After I finished a piece or a collection I always see that I used elements of pictures I found. These pictures I cut out from magazines, books, postcards etc. I don’t use inspiration literally. For example I had a photograph from an old kitchen sink from a friend of mine who is a painter. There were all splashes of paint over it. The picture was a great source of inspiration to me, because of the colors.
At the end of my second year at AMFI, we had a project about costumes, the fabric we had to use was very ugly. So I took it a step further. Of bike tires I have woven panels and I stuck foil on top of it. Out of this fabric I made a dress. I really worked with the material, I focused on the way it fell around the body.
All my old stuff is very dear to me. Especially the jewelry of my grandmother. My grandmother used to run a sewing studio so I think I have a lot in common with her. It is a shame she passed away eight years ago. I regret not being able to share that passion with her anymore.
