Artistic research
- • Nicole experiments with translating the sky into fabric
- • Her work examines anthropological to botanical environments
- • She bought her first loom with prize money from a competition
Nicole Kiersz is a textile artist from Hamburg. Although she gained a master's degree in textile design, she decided not to work in the industry. Nicole describes her studies at the HAW as being craft-focused. There she became intrigued by the loom and she decided to learn more. The desire to produce her own fabrics forced Nicole to learn increasingly complex techniques so she could experiment with haptics and optics. Nicole's woven pieces are inviting to touch, not least because of the superior quality materials that she chooses. In her free work, she explores the facts and aspects of different environments in greater detail. Among other things, she studies the colours and shapes of places in nature and frequently even uses a microscope to gain a new perspective on objects, which she then translates in her weaving.

Neue Einheit
The stiff rectangular woven textile work made with the Lancé technique appears in the colours of red and white.The irregular red pattern results due to the physical properties of the fishing line. After weaving, the fishing line contracts, leaving an irregular and uncontrollable pattern of lines and waves.
