Kiki van Eijk, Memories of a Garden, 2025
Memories of a Garden is a series of wall hangings created during a residency with artist Marc Mulders at the Baest estate. In May 2025, Van Eijk spent several days in a mobile garden house in the middle of the nature reserve, which was at that time in full bloom.
Inspired by the views and details of specific flowers and plants, she created four watercolours. She then delved into her extensive fabric archive and began the process of cutting, arranging and layering to create rich textile collages. In the lab, these were translated into four woven wall hangings, two of which are shown here.
This series not only celebrates the beauty of nature. It is also a quiet protest against the gradual disappearance of nature from our urban environment and the resulting threat to biodiversity.
