It was a few weeks after my work appeared in Textiel Plus Issue 266, that Dorothé Swinkels contacted me for an interview.

Textiel Plus Magazine

I’m pleased to announce that my hand embroidered work has been published in the Dutch magazine Textiel Plus Issue 266.

Early in 2023 I was excited to be contacted by the magazine editor who was planning an issue dedicated to text in textile artwork. I emailed a selection of pieces which where shared on their instagram account (see below). A further piece was selected for the printed magazine for a section dedicated to ‘Artists to look out for’.

Textiel Plus (Textile Plus) is a magazine about textiles and is published four times a year. It shows the latest developments in the field of textile design, techniques, materials and exhibitions. But also features many inspiring interviews with fascinating (inter)nationally renowned artists. All the artists work with textiles and push the borders of the material.

Readers of Textiel Plus are all on their own level very creatively engaged with textile in the broadest sense of the word. They work with their hands in a tactile way. Weaving, sewing, using lasers, cutting, taping and embroidering with thread, yarn, buttons, fabric, wood, plastic, glass and all kinds of other materials. Textiel Plus is in its approach to textiles(art) unique in the Netherlands and its surroundings.’
