As a textile artist, Margot explores the meeting point of art and design, where autonomous and functional works intertwine to tell unique, layered stories. Her practice focuses on materials with histories, textiles gathered from donations, found objects, and industrial remnants, where each piece carries its own tale. Margot works slowly and deliberately, manipulating textures and colors to add depth and sensory richness to my creations. Through her practice, she reflects on themes of time, transience, and sustainability. Transforming overlooked materials into intricate surfaces that invite exploration and a renewed appreciation of the handmade.
