The Nest: Bibliotheek Rijn & Venen, Work in Progress 2, dyeing.


  • atelier Femke van Gemert 5a Derde Wittenburgerdwarsstraat Amsterdam, NH, 1018 KR Netherlands (map)

The dyeing of the white clothes, textile waste from Alphen a/d Rijn, to use for the nest in the library. After the selection the white (often graywashed) items are dyed with non polluting natural pigments coming from onion peels, kurkuma and beetroots. A labour intensive and enchanting action!
