Dreamer Steamer

 

Dreamer Steamer (2024) is a piece dedicated to the fixation process of printed fabrics with natural inks.

The piece was shown at  the exhibition Treize de Flandres at Sofacq Gallery, (Merelbeke, Belgium) 8-26 May, 2024, where it was activated by Gino Versnich and Ada Van Hoorebeke on 25 May.

Dreamer Steamer celebrates the circulation of ideas. It acknowledges the contributions of individuals who adapt and manipulate ancient work routines suitable for the now and towards possible futures.
The Dreamer Steamer extends its gratitude to Michel Garcia and Laurence de Crane for sharing their practice, which inspired the creation of this piece.
