About the Item

“Every piece of textile has been designed, produced, and worn or used otherwise. Therefore, every piece of textile has a story, a particular atmosphere and beauty. Every piece of textile that I use has been eaten, digested and discarded by society.” When witnessing the tremendous amount of waste generated by fast fashion – an industry she worked within for many years – Femke van Gemert realised it was time for her to follow her own path and start using textiles differently. Femke’s practice reveals an alternative renaissance of textile leftovers, enriched with her sense of emotion and distinct personal touch. Loss and hope, ⁠imperfection and degradation over time are all recurring themes in her work. The result is highly emotional pieces which intertwine personal experiences with broader, universal issues, while also drawing attention to the present environmental crisis by taking inspiration from the ever-lasting circularity of nature.
