From the series Rag Dolls (I-V)
Rag Doll, 2025, jacquard fabric, felt, wood, glass

Rag Dolls are hybrid, ambiguous bodies trapped within boxes that evoke the constraints of domestic space. Inspired by Prato’s textile tradition of regenerating wool from rags, these soft sculptures reinterpret fabric reuse and echo the felt and archival jacquard materials which gave shape to Every Month I Weave, a project that examines the female body and textile labor through the lens of historical memory and contemporary feminist perspectives, co-produced by Lottozero and exhibited in the Kunsthalle this spring 2025.

Drawing on the same themes as the exhibition, these figures, both unsettling and intimate, push the reflection on the female body to a more radical level. Their hybrid, almost monstrous forms challenge traditional notions of femininity while confronting the enduring structures of domestic and economic oppression.

Born in 1991, Amsterdam-based visual artist Liselore Frowijn’s practice revolves around installations and sculptures made from textiles covering objects, driven by the notion of disguise as an act of revolt.
As a transdisciplinary artist, Frowijn layers projects across multiple disciplines. In her practice, she employs collage techniques to dimension and document her work in analogue and digital formats, weaving elements from her extensive research to propose imaginary future narratives inspired by (eco)feminist thinkers.

Frowijn graduated cum laude from ArtEZ University of the Arts with a bachelor’s in fashion design in 2013. After winning the Dutch Couture Award and the Prix Chloé at the Festival de la Mode et Photography in Hyères she founded Studio Frowijn in 2014. In 2023 she achieved an Art History master’s, with a thesis on ecofeminism at the University of Amsterdam.
