love textile
Textile is our second skin, the only material we allow to touch us.
Textile/fashion industry is very labor-intensive and has a heavy impact on natural resources like water and land, and the environment in general.Textiles are produced in often hard labor conditions and is very polluting in the process of bleaching, washing, dyeing and transportation all over the globeTextile consumption is growing worldwide and the circulation of fashion and textiles is getting faster and faster.Therefore textile waste is increasing.
I think we should reconsider textile waste.

love textileTextile is a lot more than just one garment or one pillow case. Because of the labor intensity and the ecological footprint of textile materials Femke wants to revaluate en re-use fabrics.

love imperfectionAll Femke’s works show the beauty of imperfection and deterioration over time.Decaying is a natural process and part of life. The ageing and wear of textiles gives a surprising beauty to the material. Therefore Femke uses fabrics in all the states of being, new and old.

textile works
Femke van Gemert creates hangings, tapestries, objects and installations made of 100 % recycled textiles. Waste, leftovers, worn and torn pieces, curtain samples, all kinds of textiles that are left over after the intensive consumptionpattern in the contemporary world. These discarded materials offer Femke the possibility to show her opinions about the world and personal experiences in abstract works.
