Artist's Projects
Pauline Greuell is a fabric designer, printer and teacher from the Netherlands. She is self taught and works with a layered stencil printing technique that she has developed and thoroughly explored over the years. It is a technique that she loves to express herself on fabric as it allows for many different effects and variations in texture, in depth and in movement. The slowness of this way of designing and printing forces her to be really deliberate about what she creates.
For inspiration she mostly looks at nature and also at designs from bygone style periods – for example at the Wiener Werkstaette and several Mid Century Modern designers – when patterns were exclusively designed by hand. There is a playfulness and sense of freedom of expression in the designs and the movement in many of these patterns that she finds enormously inspiring.
