threads & spectres

artistic researchongoing

Can textiles become a site for re-membering the past lives of women? In this ongoing project, I put this question to the test by revisiting the ‘stuff’ that comprises my family’s past, from archival records to photo albums. I explore how textiles can serve to trace women’s activities and experiences that have been overlooked or marginalised. At the same time, textile-making emerges as a site for experimentation, from where I can reconstruct these histories and give them visibility — mending the gaps where necessary.

The documentation of this project-in-progress was presented at Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof, Amsterdam in June 2025.

I am a textile artist, researcher, and writer based in Amsterdam. Through my work runs a tangible thread spun from questions about materials, patterns, hierarchies, histories and traditions.
