About the Item

Femke van Gemert uses discard textile to create her sustainable soft wall art reliefs. This work is made of the clothing leftovers and reveals some details of the clothing, such as zips, buttons and labels. The work is devoted to the sea waters. The sea is a reoccurring theme in Femke's work, because of a deep love and respect for it. This piece reflects her memories, from early childhood on, of floating in the sea, head under water. Above the light, the world I know, underneath me the deep immense never ending blue. Both tempting, what is there in that deep blue? How far does it go? Knowing to have to return to the light to breathe and get out, the deep dark is so mysteriously attractive, representing the unknown world that forms the biggest part of the planet. Water is our biggest treasure on the planet. With this piece Femke addresses the issue of textile clothing production, which is the biggest consumer of water among industries.
