Artwork 'Short Waves' 70 x 50 cm plus fringe. The latest artwork of my WAVES collection. A study of the interaction of shape, color, density, and technique. The techniques used are tufting, latch hook, fiber emballage and embroidery, while the yarns used are wool, recycled and mixed yarns of Italian origin. In her atelier Taftique in Florence, Dutch artist Jules Vissers translates an old tradition into modern artworks. Here she designs and creates hand-tufted and embroidered tapestries using high-quality Italian yarns. She graduated cum laude in Art Textiles at the Florence Art Academy and won the European Textile and Craft Award 2024 of the European Textile Academy in Bolzano, Italy for her work. She participates regularly in art and design events such as Milan Design Week, Dutch Design Week and Florence Biennale. She is a member of Homo Faber, a guide to European excellence in craftsmanship and sells her work also online with Artemest. Her art pays homage to nature using only natural yarns and those derived from recycled fibers /and local deadstock.
