MANIC FLOWERS

Welcome in my botanicum! I am obsessed with the world of plants and flowers. They are amazing creatures, colourful, sensual, sad. Sad, because their are condemned to fade away much to soon. How many people have sang their beauty? What can I add to these songs? All I can do is add my own colour and make their beauty last! So I collect all the pieces of textile that come my way, feel their texture, their skin, their colours, and build botanical beauties out of them. It is a drug to see them grow, always different, an endless world of variables. It is a game for me. No story needed like in a film. The only story to tell is about the infinite world of manic, magic flowers...
