Sina Dyks creates ingenious textile works in the form of colorful, seductive installations. Dyks demonstrates versatile material knowledge and innovative technical ingenuity. For example, she knows how to upcycle plastic into beautiful yarn that she then weaves into her textile sculptures. She pairs a traditional working method with technological know-how. For example, Dyks herself has designed a program for the loom. She uses steam to bring out the yarn in specific places; in this way, she transforms the woven surface into a three-dimensional landscape.
Sina Dyks challenges the limits of the loom as well as those of our perception; her imposing textile sculptures float in space and entice us to closer inspection. The spirit of innovation and love for the material splashes off these stimulating, inviting works.
Interview with Sina Dyks (9.7.1995) on February 23, 2023 by Marijke Uittenbroek
'I make mainly textiles; I graduated from the KABK in textile design in 2021 and have already won several awards such as the ARTSTHREAD Global Design Graduate Show 2021 by Gucci, in the category Textiles - Knit / Weave, the Heden Start Award 2021 and was nominated for the Dorothy Waxmann international Textile Price 2021.
My works are abstract fabrics where you can still see something back such as landscape-like elements. The work deliberately has two sides. There is a lot of depth, stratification, there are structures and I make a lot of use of differences in tension and differences in gloss.
I want to stimulate people positively through colors, textures and materials; let people experience what it is like to feel comfortable somewhere and be able to look at something for longer. My thesis was about how stimuli affect DNA. We receive stimuli through senses. These are processed in the brain, which in turn affects our DNA; therefore, in 2021 I developed my Stimuli Wiring System.
I did an internship at the Textile Lab in Tilburg where I learned computer-controlled jacquard weaving. With weaving you can do a lot: loose threads, different structures but the basic drawing is again flat . There are now many weavers in their sixties and it's a shame if that knowledge disappears. Technical underpinning is what I think is important; textile craft should not be lost.
I have always been puzzled as to why the Netherlands is so black, white and gray. It would be nice if we became more aware of how the environment, especially color, affects us. In 2019, I took a trip to India and in terms of color, I fell in love with the country. I wanted to convey that special experience to people. How do we experience things, why is something beautiful, what happens in your body, in your brain. I found out that this is what drives me.
Being an artist gives me a great deal of freedom to do what I like and to devote myself to the things I "stand behind.
