Opening on Sunday, March 1 at 2:00 PM. Veronica Pock works as an artist using weaving techniques. She creates tapestries and artworks incorporating natural materials such as paper, linen, and cotton alongside synthetic yarns. She also frequently incorporates recycled and reused waste materials. In this way, these are preserved and renewed, along with the intended memories. Currently, Pock is exploring the sustainability of imagery on hand-woven material. By weaving on a manually operated electronic loom, the yarns and ‘waste’ materials (cassette tapes, old maps, newspapers) acquire value and meaning through the weaving process. The result is identical to the ephemeral nature of recalled events, experiences, and emotions, whereby existence is captured by breaking them down, deconstructing them, and subsequently reconstructing them in a new form. “Weaving becomes a metaphor for memory.” Veronica Pock has a studio in The Hague. She studied fashion and textiles at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), where she graduated in 2004. She is a partner at Crafts Council Netherlands and is listed in the Homo Faber Guide (an online platform specializing in craftsmanship).
