Tique

I would describe my practice as a research based exploration of feminine culture, often connected to old dutch traditions. I work with objects, installations, and text to reflect on practices that have long structured women’s lives, especially forms of domestic labour and craft that are often overlooked. For me, materials act as carriers of knowledge, shaped by use, time, and transmission, so I pay close attention to everyday actions and traditions to reveal the cultural and ritual meaning they hold. Archival research plays an important role in my work, as it allows me to uncover hidden histories and reinterpret them through a contemporary feminist lens, often developing speculative narratives from these findings. Coming from a background in contemporary jewelry, I am interested in questioning ideas of beauty, value, and gender, while bringing together personal experience and collective memory. In my work, material and body become closely connected, where objects hold traces of memory and small, intimate gestures transform into shared rituals that invite reflection on care, heritage, and embodied female legacies.

The Living Library (2024–2026) was a transdisciplinary project developed at the Bio Design Lab of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. Over the course of two years, it fostered practice-based learning focused on locally sourced raw materials within a 50-kilometre radius around the academy, experimental making, and regenerative modes of production.

The project was a hybrid and continually evolving ecosystem. It brought together a physical archive showing material samples, tools, processes, and workshop artefacts, and a digital archive featuring interactive maps, research, and material documentation. Guided by the principles of compostability, locality, and sustainability, the project followed ecological rhythms of seeding, growing, harvesting, and decay. Students, researchers, and local practitioners collaborated to map regional resources, harvest and transform bio-based materials, and investigate their lifecycles from origin to decomposition.
