Hi I'm Maaike. I'm an artist.~anartist, a weaver. I create in time and space. The space between the threads. The dynamics between the warp and the weft. This is where creation takes place. Looking, making, reading, and thinking always have been interwoven in my practice. I weave. This is what I still do. I create interwoven space. Land. Textile. My mission is to create awareness of the extremely high potential textiles can have in our culture. Textile is an important medium to communicate values, beliefs, prestige, and comfort. Textielfabrique is my Rotterdam-based textile studio where I did 10 years research on' Textile as a Language' and where I gave textile masterclasses between 2012 and 2022).
