Maya Berkhof

Before becoming an artist, Maya Berkhof worked as a seamstress in the textile industry, developing a sharp eye for detail and structure. Her work transforms industrial fabrics like tarpaulin into sculptural forms, weaving, knotting, and braiding them into large, immersive installations. Maya magnifies intimate hand movements into monumental works, exploring materiality, space, and the poetic potential of labor-intensive processes. In addition to her own practice, she collaborates with other artists, supporting projects ranging from costumes to large-scale textile installations, combining technical skill with aesthetic sensitivity.
