TEXTILE ART

2018 - From denim leftovers, I created the denim sculpture “FEEL”.

HXWXD 120X50X50 cm.

Doors of perception

The denim sculpture has a cripple and sad appearance. In an era of digital overconsumption, we receive an overload of information. Our brains have limited resources. When constrained and overwhelmed with thoughts, they pursue well-trod paths of least resistance, trying to efficiently bring order to chaos. Information overload keeps us mired in noise...

“Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?” T.S. Elliot.

MIND YOUR FASHION FOOTPRINT

ONE-OFF UPCYCLED DENIM COLLECTION

2014 - My first no-waste challenge! As I discovered all the wrong ingredients the market provides us and how these harmful products damage our environment, I started to rethink. How to re-use materials. By collecting old garments and textiles (mostly jeans, as this is the most commonly worn garment of this ànd the last century) there is plenty of material available in my studio.

CONNOISSEURS CLAIM THAT DENIM, LIKE WINE, IMPROVES WITH AGE.

I focus on the blends (the polyesters mixed with cotton), they are so nice and stretchy! Mechanical recycling is still a challenge for blended fabrics.

To upcycle is meaningful, you will contribute to a better environment.

The recycled denim mini dress "voodoo dolls", was part of the exhibition organized by the linen Museum Bussemakerhuis.

FAIR FASHION NON-TOXIC

Little dresses, skirts, vests, and accessories. All made from waste material. Unique items with still the feel of vintage. Green ethical fair garments will make everybody happy: the maker, our nature, and the consumer.

The "Viktor Spoila" series: upcycled denim long tops

As a consumer, we become happy when we have been able to buy the best quality at the lowest price. For a long time, our field of vision did not have to extend beyond the product. However, with a circular economy, we enter the world of flows. These flows run through a chain and interconnect chains. For both producers and consumers, awareness is increasing that you have a strong influence on the ecosystem that is attached to it when you purchase. In fact, at the time of purchase, you have become part of it. It is high time to re-think: less consuming, the design processes and the reuse of materials.
