Joana Schneider

Joana Schneider (1990), born in Munich and currently living and working in The Netherlands, is a graduate from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. Right after she graduated, she received the ‘Keep an Eye Textile and Fashion Award’.

Sustainability

Joana Schneider creates tactile sculptures and spacious installations that present a sustainable contact with organic materials, while shedding light on local craftsma and industry. Schneider’s material-based approach pays tribute to labour-intensive techniques and makes the Dutch craftsmen central means throughout her oeuvre. Her intuitive working process is inspired by traditional working practices such as netmaking in the fisheries sector or roof thatching with reed.

Materials

Schneider’s playful use of exceptional materials merges with her love for the textile craft. Her practice revolves around a base discarded ropes, used for fishing, and on top the aesthetically pleasing and tactile viscose threads, made from recycled plastic bottles. Through this one-of-a-kind way of using sustainable materials, Joana creates recognizable, unique, three-dimensional works.
