description
Gift in Motion was a three-week collaborative project between the Chabot Museum, the Sint Michaël School, the Prins Alexander School and myself. Both schools are affiliated with the Chabot Museum due to their proximity to the place where Henk Chabot lived and worked. I set up a temporary workspace in each school. During the project students witnessed and participated in my making process, from carding and dyeing wool to the creation of final works: three wet felted wall-hangings with needle felted fibre drawings. At the end of the project the two schools exchanged wall-hangings during a ceremony near the Rotte gifting the completed works to one another.
