Multimedia artist Trui Demarcke (1962, Belgium) studied Sculptural Ceramics at the Sint-Lucas high school of arts in Ghent and Industrial Textile Design at the PTI (Provincial Technical Institute) in Kortrijk. 

In 1995 she founded the label FIL & BAUKIS, well known for its exclusive silk and knitted scarves. 

Since 2010 she has been working on sculptures made of silk and paintings. Her works are often inspired by light. The material is applied, removed again, it leaves a layer of the previous operation. In this way the artist wants to make the process of creation tangible and visible in the final form.

In 2019 she made the art book 'Tsimtsoem' (self published, hand sewn and bound, limited edition, printed in the Drukkerij Cultura ,Wetteren). The concept of the book is based on a Hebrew word tsimtsoem (tzimtzum), that refers to the limitation of infinite space, an idea that the artist likes to adhere to in order to transform chaos to order. The book consists of a story accompanied by 24 images.

In 2021 she made the art book 'Alfabet' (self published in Ghent, limited edition) with abstract drawings that evolve into a recognisable portrait of a person in spreads on 26 pages.

 

Er is de liefde voor het ambachtelijke dat zich vertaalt in vorm, kleur en materiaal maar ook de liefde voor het daglicht.

Het spel van het daglicht doet de aanblik van het kunstwerk veranderen. Er is de liefde voor het experiment waarbij

grenzen worden afgetast, op zoek naar nieuwe expressiemogelijkheden.
