www.mariekebruins.comI love how textile design embraces any and all materialities. I see textiles not just in terms of surface and structure but more so in terms of context and application. I find the task of sourcing new avenues for textile design as an exciting challenge that lets my design skills flourish in a wide scope of industries such as fashion, home wares and industrial fabrication.
I am a hoarder of sorts as I draw most my inspiration from a treasure trove of objects and artifacts that I have collected over the years as well as art, history and popular culture. My eyes are always open to seek out new and interesting compositions, forms and colour combinations.
In the near future I hope to practice commercial design in an international marketplace by contributing fresh ideas to the textile industry.
