Pluis

By 26-06-2019

Joana Schneider: ‘Pluis is a de- and re-contextualization of materials and techniques from the harbour. Drawing my inspiration from the fishermen and net makers has allowed me to appropriate and dig into textile techniques that are deeply rooted in this field of labour.’

‘During the past months I spent many hours studying the techniques used in the netting industries in Katwijk and translated them into contemporary textile techniques. The net makers became my teachers, mentors and sponsors of the materials.’

‘Exploring the possibilities and pushing the limits of working with rope has made me work on a large scale, to create dramatic, theatrical environments with a powerful symbolism. This ultimately led to the development of the Totem series.’
