In my work I strive for a objective essence of aesthetics and a scientific approach to our visual language. Fascinated by anthropology and anthroposophy I research the value of symbols, icons and the visual language. Instead of using an aesthetic defined by hand I found a way to let nature define the impression. With this medium I capture and develop the real exposure of light on textile. The textile objects are exposed to light in different ways. Exploring light that we are conditioned too through our environment as well as unnatural light effects that goes beyond what we perceive in the natural environment, inspired by visual overstimulation created through conditioning to technological advancements. I’ve constructed a digital archive of functional fashion- and textile objects that are intertwined with our cultural heritage. I research and explore the identities linked to these fashion and textile objects through recontextualisation. The objects are digitally remastered and then altered in their shape, contrast and colour before their being brought back to their physical form. Eventually looking like objects that belong somewhere between digital fiction and physical reality.
