Dagmar Stap

Dagmar Stap uses various embroidery techniques to create sculptures of packaging, such as a pack of instant noodles or a can of coconut milk. Her fascination for packaging started when she walked into an Asian super market, where products await buyers with their bright, illustrative and often loud colors.

The ancient, delicate, Chinese embroidery that are so time-consuming, are a stark contrast to the high-paced, mass-producing China that we know today. This contrast, combined with her fascination for embroidery, inspired her to create this series of work. In her work Dagmar plays with definitions of the valuable and the worthless, of trash and art.

Dagmar Stap graduated form Art Academy Minerva in Groningen in 2018. Since then her embroidery works have been published in various newspapers and art platforms. Dagmar has exhibited in the Netherlands with Galerie Fleur & Wouter and in France with Galerie Tracanelli. Her work is incorporated in various private collections, and in the collection of Museum LAM Lisse.
