Van de Aarde / From the Earth

Exhibition at Galerie Paper art & Design in The Hague together with works of Loes Schepens

Exhibition Van de Aarde / From the Earth
Marieke van Mieghem and Loes Schepens met at the flax field (of the LInen Project) in Hemmen in 2020. It soon turned out that they shared their love of nature and curiosity for materials. Not only that, in the course of their growing friendship they start working together to get to the heart of the flax they grow.

They teach each other the techniques of papermaking, spinning, making paper thread and weaving. They collect natural dyes and colour the flax with various techniques. They give workshops, courses and create works of art that arise naturally through the processes they experience. The exhibition ‘From the earth’ shows the collaboration between these artists and you will experience the endless possibilities of flax. Besides beauty, the works also provide an insight into how, as a human being, you can reconnect with nature.
