architecture

Flore Fockedey is interested in surfaces and the spaces they can make. 

She defines a surface as an assembly of components, sometimes stitched, knitted, or bolted.  Though she often returns to textiles, her projects are not limited to this.  

Her work explores architectural conventions: tectonics; permanence; the distinction between inside and out.   She develops both concrete and symbolic aspects of each intervention.

Flore explores where materials come from: their production cycles, know-how, local and historic relevance.  She thinks about how they can be resituated, ennobled, and combined.  By using existing products and processes she aims to maximise impact and minimise waste.

She pursues all this in collaboration with a network of textile designers, artists, craftspeople, and architects with complementary tools, skills, and sensibilities.
