materials: repurposed textile scraps, paint, 100 % recycled materials Every year in springtime flowers and plants start to grow and bloom in summer, in autumn they deteriorate, the "aliveness" seems to withdraw. Than in winter all develops, sleeps, underground. It is this energy that is depicted here. What we see, when we look at flowers and trees, above the ground, their colorful splendor that amazes us in blooming time. But the energy is continuing, undulating above and under the ground, in a continuous and very comforting cycle. This work is a tribute to the energy that makes all plant life grow, bloom, withdraw, deteriorate, and form new life again. Every season, again and again, what a wonderful, humbling, magical, everlasting energy that is

Femke van Gemert creates tapestries, wall-hangings, sculptures and installations made of 100 % recycled textiles. They can be works on commission, site specific designs with the use of discarded textiles from various sources. She does this because of a very strong conviction that we need to reconsider waste. Knowing the intense effect on the global environment and human labour conditions the textile and fashion industry has, Femke decided to not use any virgin materials for there artworks. She constantly works on a range of autonomous works. For Femke working with discarded fabrics and textiles is a continuous study and experiment of what she can do with these leftovers of our intensive consumer society. Resulting in art pieces made in various techniques that explore the possibilities of textiles in 2 and 3-D and in voluminous reliefs. “Every piece of textile has been designed, produced, and worn or used otherwise. Therefore, every piece of textile has a story, a particular atmosphere and beauty. Every piece of textile that I use has been eaten, digested and discarded by society, and is for me a fantastic medium to express myself.” Femke van Gemert creates unique, handmade and sustainable art objects from discarded textiles, taking the form of textile wall panels, tapestries, installations and site-specific pieces and soft wall coverings. Her work catches the beauty of imperfection and decay and by its tangible nature often evokes strong emotions with the viewer. “I’m not trying to improve the already existing fabrics I gather. It’s more that I want to create something that doesn't exist yet with the use of what is already there.” Combined in a new frame the used fabrics tell a new story, filling any room with a certain mood while on a functional level improving the acoustics. To make commissioned works even more personal, Femke can work with the commissioner’s own leftover textiles.
