Nousjka Daniëls, a graphic designer, has a deep affection for the worlds of books, illustrations, and games. Her journey in design led her to graduate from LUCA Ghent in 2014. Presently, she resides in Brussels and operates as a freelance designer.
Continuing her artistic exploration, Nousjka is currently enrolled at the Academie Beeldende Kunsten Anderlecht (ABKA). Her studies are focused on mastering various printmaking techniques, including silkscreen printing, linography, digital etching, and risography.
In her creative endeavors, Nousjka's artworks are vibrant and intricate assemblages of elements. Each component holds its own unique significance while intricately connecting with and influencing the others, resulting in visually captivating and meaningful designs.
During my stay, I want to collect forms, patterns, ideas, concepts, stories while going around the island. These findings will be bundled in an encyclopedia/archive, made with sustainable materials (pencils, paper scraps). Inspired by essays of Jorge Luis Borges – who rethinks taxonomy and pictures eternal libraries – I will let my impression of the island shape how to organize and categorize these elements and create a new visual language.
The goal of the project is to look closely at the environment, capture an impression of the culture and be conscience of my steps in the process.
