How the embroidery machine manipulates clothing.

In her project “Play with machines”, Maartje van Dijck examines how the embroidery machine can manipulate clothing. In the mass production of fashion, machines are used to produce the same items of clothing over and over again. Martje van Dijck reverses this process by using the embroidery machine in a playful way to create individual pieces of clothing. She puts the garments under the machine whereby she avoids spreading them flat and lets herself be surprised by the result. Unusual folds and volumes are created, the silhouette is totally changed. For her work Maartje van Dijck uses basic items of clothing in order to gain as much scope as possible, e.g. by adding fabric. Brush strokes served as inspiration for operating the embroidery machine. The project demonstrates a possibility to test and expand the limits of the machine. With this process, Maartje van Dijck wants to combine mass production and individual pieces. Due to the individual character, the garments become special pieces that are loved and therefore worn for longer.
