Mon, Jan 29 - Thu, Feb 29 2024
Aliki van der Kruijs will participate in the design residency program at Industry City by WantedDesign from January 29 until February 29.
From a background in graphic and fashion design, the craftsmanship of Aliki has a strong focus on the medium textile as a communication tool. Over the past 10 years, the Dutch designer/researcher constructed a material database from her main interest in the weather and geology, making her textile work relational to time, place and landscape. Her practice fundaments on an intuitive encounter with the world through fieldwork. Many of her projects originated on or in response to a location, phenomena, natural (re)sources or a specific technique with a strong sense of coloring processes. Her residency at Industry City by WantedDesign will be between January 29 and February 29.
