The brilliant colours of a soap bubble are created by light reflected from both sides of the thin film. Nienke Sybrandy added ink to her soap mixture, then blew bubbles onto a surface. The resulting pattern inspired the design of this series. In the TextielLab, Sybrandy translated the pattern into woven tea towels.
Sybrandy (1979) lives and works in Amsterdam. She studied textile at the Rietveld Academy and applied arts at the Sandberg Institute. She makes both independent and commissioned works. Soap bubbles and flowers are recurring themes.
