textile + fiber
Typography becomes textile in "Gezellig," where collaged letters spell out this untranslatable Dutch word for cozy togetherness across an embroidery hoop. Each letter emerges from different found fabrics—stripes, florals, houndstooth, velvet—their varied patterns unified only by the act of spelling. Against white linen alive with embroidered stars and scattered stitches, the work captures something essential about both the word and the making: gezellig isn't just comfort but the particular warmth found in gathered fragments, in making do and making beautiful. The deliberately loose execution, with visible stitching and unfinished edges, suggests that coziness itself lives in the imperfect, the handmade, the lovingly assembled from what's at hand.
