SUSTAINABILITY

Laurine Malengreau is a textile artist whose practice embodies a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. She specializes in creating large-scale wall hangings using the Nuno Silk felting technique, which involves bonding natural silk and wool fibers through a process of water, soap, heat, and cold, resulting in non-woven fabric. This method emphasizes the use of natural materials and traditional craftsmanship. Her dedication to sustainability is evident in her choice of materials and processes. She sources ecologically responsible, natural fibers for her artworks . Her involvement in initiatives like the Homo Faber Fellowship, which focuses on transferring artisanal knowledge and promoting sustainable practices, further underscores her commitment to environmentally conscious art
