Watch as Nadie Borggreve creates her tufting works that echo and are deeply rooted in nature. Her creations have a pictorial aspect that transport the viewer into a multitude of settings. Her creations resemble Gothic windows in how they look upward, toward the heavens; wool replaces stained glass, giving rise to astral formations. Borggreve also plays with the composition of her pieces, which she either fragments or assembles as collages.

Nadie Borggreve

Nadie Borggreve (b. 1991) lives and works in Amsterdam. She studied at Royal Academy of Art (The Hague) where she won the department prize for Textile and Fashion in 2016. After working in fashion design and participating in a Norwegian residency, her studio practice moved towards fine art.

The artist employs different techniques: tufting, intarsia knitting and a bespoke dyeing process. She makes her own colours and hand-dyes her wool. Vibrant colours with a rare depth emerge from this practice. The source of her raw material is essential to her creative process, which she regards as cyclical, mirroring nature. She collects fabric and thread that are either second-hand or from unused stockpiles. Well-worn clothes also serve as a resource; she unravels them to recover thread. By re-using textiles, Borggreve seeks to preserve their history as well as create a dialogue between an object’s memory and its tangibility.
