Within my practice I try to place non-fashionable materials on the body in a fashionable context.

This project is part of: I think this is an option, what do you think?

We live in wood, we sit on wood, it gives us warmth. Every day we stand in relation to wood. But what is the relation between wood and the human body?

HOUT-baar

Wood is a warm, strong and hard material. It is always close to us, but never close to the body.
By bending wood into round shapes and organically shaping the garments around the wood, their harshness is taken away and the possibilities to connect with our body grows.
In search for a new relationship between our bodies and wood.
