Artists' statement
Wille-Meike Brand (she/her) is a visual artist from The Netherlands, currently based in Rotterdam. Her practice is a continues exploration of new ways to make use of undervalued materials, by rethinking their reversibility. Her experiment based approach has let her to a new textile printing technique, with which she's able to extract the imprint from waste textiles stemming from the endless fast-fashion stream. The technique creates the possibility to restore function to a discarded material. Her process consists of the exploration of existing imagery, which she transforms by deconstruction and reproduction – resulting into an interwoven visual dialogue. The emerging elements create an abstract language through imprints of threads, folds and labels – revealed and captured down to the fiber. Her body of work consists of an interplay between sculpture, fashion and installation.
