This group exhibition features over 30 artists working in diverse textile techniques and addresses human’s place in the world.

My piece “Pressed” references new materialism and ownership of resources, taking the fishing industry as its subject and placing it within a feminine/ domestic context, presenting a narrative of exploitation and spoilage. It is a white cube space, a contrast to the context-free Wevershuis, and I chose the spot near the WC.

The gallery is in the Vijverhof in Den Dolder, which has a history as a space for post-war psychiatric treatment, and currently is a place which provides refuge for vulnerable people.
