Her approach asks: ‘What is contemporary about craft?‘ ,“Many people don’t really relate to products anymore. Mass production has led to today’s throwaway society. I want to contribute to raising people’s awareness, prompting them to think about products: how they are made and the resources involved; to generate values. I decided to do this through supporting the preservation of a cultural heritage, and by designing authentic objects. Contemplating and experiencing this artistic craft leads to new insights and points of view and enriches communication.With my textile posters and Pouf_Characters for example I am inviting people to ac- quaint themselves with a value creation chain, and to think about global responsibility.“
