About

Marthe is a visual artist who works with the qualities of color, texture and fabric. She creates colorful tapestries and collages with a variety of materials like textiles, raw wool, pigment, East Indian ink, paper and yarns, all assembled and stitched together. Her sensitivity and curiosity make for a layered aesthetic that is human, intimate and unique.

Marthe’s work explores the concept of material intelligence, the idea that simple everyday objects contain a unique human wisdom and shared experience. Throughout history, tapestries have been used for narrating grand stories and depicting heroic scenes. Marthe’s tapestries are an altar for the everyday, and a revaluation of simplicity, tactility and imperfection.
