About Sustainable, Ecological and Bioart #1

She BAM! founder and director Laetitia Gorsy identifies textile art as another potential focal point in 2022. According to her: “Textile art clearly defies boundaries between disciplines, such as sculpture, performance, and drawing. It challenges societal norms, and moreover, the digital world. On the other hand, textile art also plays with some very current concepts and aspirations, such as climate questions, the necessity of up-cycling, eco and conscious use of materials…”

Recycled and ecological materials are being used to produce textile work by artists in exciting and innovative ways. In her work, Rosana Escobar, for example, uses fique fibres leftover from coffee bag production to create rugs and tapestries (fique is an agave plant native to the Andean regions). Artist and designer Gundega Strauberga uses recycled fishing nets as fibre for weaving baskets and other objects. And Nigerian artist Marcellina Akpojotor creates elaborate portraits of domestic life from discarded scraps of fabric sourced from local fashion houses.
