On June 21, 2025, artists .i.e.l.s.a.l.b.e.r.s, .koen, , and I concluded our residency—hosted by Stichting den Den at the Den Treek estate—with a public gathering at sunset for the longest day of the year. The event reflected on our time living in the forest among more-than-human beings with a lecture by biologist , a shared dinner with wood oven pizzas and soup, and a walk with local ranger John, all surrounded by our open-air artworks.

During my residence over the past months, I was struck by the return of wolves in the area and the fear that this evoked. This reminded me of witch hunts that also took place in this forest in the 16th century. In the body of work I developed here, I aimed to draw a comparison between the exclusion of ‘the other’ then and now, and searched for ways to live together with people and more-than-humans in a changing world.

I presented ‘Hagazusah in Widdershins’, a new installation that combines local branches and archival jacquard-woven textiles obtained from , forming hybrid vegetal-human figures that bridged industrial and organic forms, hanging centred on a pine tree.

The soundscape ‘Air Spirits’ offers a sensory journey into interspecies intimacy, voiced through echoes from the forest.

Nearby works included a dense pinecone path with ‘Hybrides’; paper-cut human-animal collages, and their gatekeepers, ‘Romulus & Remus’; textile-mâché wolf heads, recalling myths upon the wolf’s return. Together, they form an ecofeminist vision of coexistence and relationality between species.

🪱 Save The Soil / The Date for Wiede Wold 🪱

Dear friends,
This Spring (28 April - 30 June 2024), together with other artists, Studio Frowijn will be part of the art and design festival Wiede Wold in the village Echten, on invitation by curators Lisa Hardon & Jorn Konijn, initiated by the municipality De Wolden in Drenthe, the Netherlands, celebrating De Wolden’s cultural anniversary under the theme ‘The Future of the Rural’.

Our trilogy Soil Stewards to Soilistic Bodies prompts a reevaluation of our relationship with soil and foregrounds its hermaphrodite stewards: worms. The project contains an interactive sculpture breaking open the garden of a teahouse in Echten, the online essay Imagining Soilscapes, Or Queering Common Ground focusing on the soil as a commodified gender construct whilst advocating its relational value, and a soundscape staging voices from various perspectives on the soil. By observing worm-soil relations and envisioning q***r possibilities, this triptych imagines rural futures as opaque aesthetics and symbolizes interconnectedness between rural and urban spaces.

The official opening is due on Sunday afternoon, 28 April 2024, with an immersive route full of art and design through Echten, and you are very welcome to join us there. For the press, there will be a special weekend organized on 11 & 12 May 2024. 

>>> Please send us a DM before 1 April to RSVP if you would like to join one of these days.

Dear friends,

Our heart is beating fast as we are thrilled to introduce you to the textile sculpture Misfit #1, now available in our ART SHOP.

In this current work, entitled TACTUAL MISFITS, I want to explore the erotic and sensualities textiles can evoke.

On the one hand, I have a fascination for the erotic power textiles and colours can depict or arouse, on the other, I stand critical against the machinery of the textile and fashion industry. The sculptures and paintings within this Serie V operate on an intersection of this eroticism and criticism, investigating to what extent an erotic power can be depicted without people.

By stretching, folding, pleading, winding, playing, touching, moving, by submitting myself to matter, this new series of works envisions creating amorphous and perhaps imaginary bodies.

Stay tuned for more steps from the margin as we cannot stop them from dancing.

Warm regards,
Liselore,
transdisciplinary artist
