THE X-TILES

An ongoing artistic research project on topics such as flags and banners, classical crafts(wo)manship, contemporary typography, word games, palindromes and modernist illustration.

“Fabric is a wonderful material. It is hard to destroy and yet easy to handle. It is dynamic and loves the wind. The spectrum of colors and haptics is nearly inexhaustible. Each message gets a state-bearing character and each form is automatically reduced to its essence.”
