“I just had my textile as my medium, and the other students, they were either doing glass or ceramics, or making jewelry. So everyone sort of had his material already, so that worked for me. Also to be from fashion, to going into the field between art and design—and having the textile as a medium—was a great way to find out more about design ‘cause that was actually new to me. And also the fact [that] the material could be the result, or could be the most important thing instead of the shape.”

“I'm also proud of [the TextielLab], because you just love working there. And there are tonnes of possibilities, and you want to stretch the possibilities, you want to get out of the machines, well, newer things, that you maybe thought were impossible. And it feels good when you are working together as a team, making a new collection.”

“It's a bit about the grey field between art and design, and this is always a subject but I don't do that. Because in a way I don't find it... well, importance is weird, but in a way art and design is about being free but then we'll be like, "Is this art, is this design?" And we want to categorize [it].”

“Looking back I would never make the same thing again, because it would be a different time; you've seen new things or you have different feelings and different knowledge maybe. So if I do collaborations and people would leave the project for a few months or like half a year, then I would want to start over again, or I have to see if I see that fitting where I am at the moment. So yeah, time is important for my work.”
