Doe spirit

I am a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist working primarily with hand-painted textiles, sculpture and installation. My practice explores the body as a shifting landscape shaped by pressure, rupture, repair and time.

My current project, Fault Lines, uses silk and other repurposed fabrics as mapping surfaces. Through layered dyeing, bleeding pigments and hand stitching, the works reference topographical maps, geological formations and satellite imagery. Colour functions as emotional material, while stitched lines trace moments of fracture, movement and repair.

The project emerged from experiences of postpartum depression, but has grown to address wider states of instability — emotional, environmental and political. I am interested in how both bodies and landscapes absorb stress, carry memory and transform through change.

My process embraces unpredictability. Pigment spreads, stains and resists control, allowing the material to behave as an active collaborator. This balance between intention and chance mirrors the themes within the work itself. By using textiles — a medium historically associated with care, labour and feminine making — the work critically engages with hierarchies of material value, embodiment and emotional
labour.

Positioned between textile tradition and contemporary abstraction, my work challenges assumptions of softness and craft. I use fabric as image, object and environment, exploring how vulnerability can hold strength and how intimate materials can speak to collective experience.
