Joana Schneider, a talented artist based in The Hague, found inspiration in the fishermen working in the harbor near her new home. Their unique blend of rugged labor and delicate artistry caught her attention, leading her to explore the world of knotting techniques on a larger scale using heavy-duty ropes.

Schneider, originally from Munich, was fascinated by the connection between the fishermen’s work and traditional textile art. She began sourcing leftover rope from the anglers and incorporating them into her large-scale sculptures. Spending days untangling the nets and drying the ropes in the sun, Schneider infuses her work with an oceanic scent, creating a tangible link to the sea.

The artist intricately wraps thin, colorful yarn around the ropes, transforming them into abstract or figurative sculptures. Some pieces feature exaggerated facial features, created through coiled, hand-stitched patchwork. The labor-intensive process is a meditative experience for Schneider, who finds solace in the rhythmic wrapping and soft texture of the fibers.

Currently, Schneider is preparing for a solo exhibition titled “Otherworldly” at the Groninger Museum in The Netherlands, scheduled to open in April. The project blurs the line between reality and fantasy, drawing on the artist’s interest in hybridity. Schneider aims to evoke a sense of wonder and disorientation, much like the Renaissance tradition of grotesque art that inspired her.

Schneider’s sculptures are on display at the FITE Textile Biennial in France and will be featured in a group exhibition at König Galerie in Munich in 2025. To explore more of her work, visit her website and Instagram profile.

Her pieces, such as “Sugarfly,” “Light Child,” and “The Good Farmer,” showcase her intricate rope-wrapping technique and artistic vision. Each sculpture is a testament to Schneider’s dedication to her craft and her ability to create captivating artworks that push boundaries and challenge perceptions.
