H.E.R.B.S.

In H.E.R.B.S. Studio Nienke Hoogvliet researches if the skin can absorb positive substances by using medicinal herbs as a natural dye.

  • The H.E.R.B.S. quilt at the exhibition Dissidence: Quilting Against @z33be. The quilt is dyed with Rosemary, Sage and Camomille and the pattern is made to cover those areas of our body that need a little extra support of the herbs used for the dye. The quilt is part of a research project on if and how, herbs can contribute to our health when they are used as a natural dye. Samples are now tested at @centexbelvkc #quilt #quiltingagainst #herbs #naturaldyes #exhibition

  • Happy New Year to all of you! I hope 2019 will bring you joy, happiness, health and light! This picture was taken at the beach of The Hague during New Years night, there's a tradition of building huge bonfires there to celebrate the new year. This year, it went wrong and a fire rain came down in a part of the city. Scary, but the light at the beach was absolutely beautiful... #happynewyear #beach #bonfire #outofcontrole
