Ode aan mijn tijd by Judith de Keyser
Published: 29.07.2024
Value is not only determined by the shiny surface or the price attached to it but also by the time, effort, skills, and love invested by the maker in materials. It is precisely this investment that makes a raw material valuable.
My work with tissue paper and my effort to transform it through dedication and craftsmanship aims to highlight these contrasts. I measure, cut, and twist my tissue paper into threads as thin as sewing thread to thick cords. These threads, colourful or white, are used to perform techniques. I want to return to traditional techniques where an enormous amount of time is invested, time that we usually do not want to spend on this material.
It is an invitation to think about what is truly valuable in our consumer society and how we can reconnect with materials and products in a more authentic and conscious way.
