Creature II

Collaboration with Dutch artist Margreet Hajee

Pine wood, hemp, and metal  8 × 24 × 6 cm

A hybrid organism, born from aquatic duality. Its body, an enigma of two worlds, allows it to dance between the depths and the surface. A carved wooden structure, solid and serene, offers rest while adrift—a floating refuge. In contrast, a vibrant tail, woven from pigmented hemp fibers, propels it into deep dives in search of sustenance. This complex being, a delicate balance between the solid and the ethereal, stands on the verge of extinction.

 

technical data

This project is carried out using four different techniques: spinning, weaving, carving, and modeling. First, the spinning technique employs hemp thread, produced manually with a spinning wheel. The weaving is done with jute, esparto grass, and hemp, all natural materials. As for the wooden volumes, these are created through direct carving with gouges. In addition, the project includes a hand-modeled clay piece.
