Weaving and painting brings me into the moment. I won't let myself be carried away by my thoughts.
Marieje studied, after a short passage at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art in London. She worked as a freelance designer, but devoted herself entirely to her own art in 2020. Her wall sculptures are made of textiles of found materials. She always starts a design with a watercolour; then she weaves, wraps and knots the yarns around an organic shape in copper.
