Bouwstof

Bouwstof is proposing the idea of textile as a new building material in fine, knitted sculptures playing with transparancy, layering and light, and using the idea of knit as a three dimensional, textile material.
The knitted collection consists out of studies in brass and copper wire, metallic yarn and golden gimp yarn from Bart & Francis.

Bouwstof is based around the Japanese concept ‘ma’, a combination of the characters ‘door’ and sun. Together these two characters depict a door through the crevice of which the sunlight peeps in. Ma gives value to the interval, a simultaneous awareness of form and non-form.
