Dutch designer and artist Lizan Freijsen finds special beauty in fungus, green mold, and wet stains. She transforms the found images into beautiful textiles – carpets, blankets, and wall panels.
Lisan crafts her masterpieces through a unique manufacturing process that combines her long-term research into color and form with labor-intensive handcrafting.
Freijsen says that the stains on the wood-burning shed were the beginning for her. Since they only increased over time and instilled fear and horror in her, Lizan decided to overcome unpleasant feelings, creating, in her opinion, a project that reflects the beauty of imperfection in response on the excessive control reigning in society .
For the production of her textiles, the Dutch artist has mastered an old craft in collaboration with experts from the textile museum in Tilburg – the project has become not only beautiful but also unique.
