I am Phlox, a passionate artist who graduated Cum Laude from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) in 2023. During my studies, I embarked on a life-changing adventure when I decided to spend six months living in Berlin. It was in this vibrant city that I truly discovered myself as an artist and realized my deep desire to pursue textile design.
Textiles have always held a special place in my heart, and I have always been fascinated by the techniques and craftsmanship involved in working with them. Throughout my academic journey, I constantly sought inspiration from the materials that surround us in our everyday lives, finding beauty and potential in their transformative power through recycling.
For the past five years, I have resided in a dynamic student house, sharing the space with 36 housemates. Living in this lively environment has been an invaluable experience, fueling my creativity and providing endless inspiration. It has been a place where ideas flow freely, and I have gained new perspectives and insights that have shaped my artistic vision.
Currently, I have my own studio located at Loods 6, where I continue to explore and expand upon my artistic vision alongside other talented artists. Within my studio, I experiment with textiles, pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques and creating unique artworks that challenge the norms of textile design.
