@celinavleugels

Tell us, what do you do in life? 

​

I graduated in September with a Masters in Textile Design (after a Masters in Painting), and now I’m making felt paintings. These are patchwork combining many different fabrics combined with embroidery, wool and dry felt. Besides my art practice, I work part-time in Copyright Ghent! I love to get daily inspiration from new books and artists!  

 

​

What do you like best about your place? 

​

The no-nonsense attitude of the people who live here always keeps me grounded in what I do. And also the cosy city centre makes me feel very secure!

​

What kind of music are you listening to at the moment?

​

I make a playlist every month, where all kinds of findings come together. Every day I’m in a different mood so it’s a mix and match from all kinds of genres: At the moment I’m listening to the old albums of Radiohead, the new album of Ross From Friends and a lot of Eefje de Visser!  

 

​

What’s the first record you bought?

​

The first record I bought was Elephunk From the Black Eyed Peas.  

 

​

What’s your favourite pastime? 

​

My favourite pastime is days when I can go for long walks or just scroll through Pinterest on my laptop (which is also a guilty pleasure haha).  

 

​

Any guilty pleasures? 

​

Yeah, I’ve got lots of guilty pleasures! What I usually do daily is to dance and sing very loudly to very bad pop songs with no shame! It is really good to let yourself be ugly and real haha.

​

If you could be famous, what kind of celebrity would you be?

​

 If I could I would be famous, I would love to be a known textile artist, or being a DJ would also be cool!  

 

​

Have you experienced any regrets recently? 

​

Maybe some great connections with people that are faded… but nothing specific at the moment.  

 

​

Which future Subbacultcha event are you looking forward to? 

​

Looking forward to the Meetsystem concert on 28/01!! And also the exhibition of Alexis Gautier, which is still going on till march!

Who do you wanna give credit to? 

​

I want to give credit to my best friend Charlotte Verbiest!! She is always there for me, and is also a talented photographer! You should check out her work too!
